The fen dweller!
Like, months ago there was heavy discussion about the origin of Fenris’s name and if it was used properly and blah blah blah, and I never weighed in on anything. But I thought it would be cool to show you guys this picture of me (lookin’ pretty monochromatic) in a fen about four years ago.
I had never heard of a fen before, but I got the chance to volunteer with the Michigan DNR and help protect one of the few fens (and all the species of plants and animals, some threatened, that inhabit it) in the area from glossy and common buckthorn, two invasive European plants brought to North America sometime in the 1800s. I think this was a mountain of glossy buckthorn I’m standing on.
I got to have some fun little adventures with the DNR cutting down buckthorn in the summer and then in the winter. When else would I have crossed a frozen lake on foot to reach an island inhabited by beavers?
