A maple tree stands on a small piece of land that borders a marsh and river channel on the South Branch of the Muskoka River. This place is very special where there are no cottages, past the Rocky Narrows where you feel the river’s wildness. The tree marks the spot where the frogs sing, beavers build homes, otters and the moose swim. This growth of the limbs striving for light reflects perseverance and resilience of the trees and forest that live in the wetlands of the South Branch of the Muskoka River.
