Bushwacking
Posted: Sat Mar 20, 2021 6:27 pm
I've found a few potential marshes worth exploring. However what I've noticed from streetview is that it's mostly cattails and water. Any advice on how to best explore these areas? Most locations are in some vicinity of trails and I think that to to find anything secluded some bushwacking is inevitable.
My other concern is ticks (perhaps the most important). This seems unavoidable. What have people's experiences been with them in wetlands? I wouldn't expect to find black-legged ticks (which carry lyme) to be around but you never know.
Unfortunately I don't have suitable rivers nearby or coastal mudflats where this would be easy. Quarries I won't visit due to legal risks.
