Woodland
“
In Green Grandeur by Stewart Stafford
Under towers of green pillars,
Grow those leafed palaces,
Stretching out their tall limbs,
Up skyward in thanksgiving.
Saplings with peacock foliage,
A forest floor carpeted thickly,
With dead leaves, kindling and,
Subterranean roots peeking out.
Storm-crooked trunks stooping,
To the lightning-shattered bows,
Fingers of dying sunlight reach,
To caress the ivy-entwined bark.

It shows woodland cover starting at the southernmost boundary where the Edendon joins the River Garry and ascending the entire 14.3 km. of the Edendon Water, rounding Am Meadar and far up into the Cama' Choire. The entire catchment of the Edendon is 42 square km., set entirely within Dalnacardoch.
