Ending Greenbelt Camp Host

Our time at Greenbelt Park is fast coming to an end. We have enjoyed the high canopy and dense shade from the huge Poplars, and abundance of Oaks, Hickorys and Walnut trees which account for a lot of squirrels.
The black squirrels, we're told, were brought down from Canada and escaped from the National Zoo. They are seen here in the park and are a pleasure to watch. We often see raccoon, opossum in the headlights of our truck as we are closing the gates in the various areas. Occasionally, a fox will show up during our closing rounds.
We have particularly enjoyed the numerous deer in the park, often 4 or more at a time and counting 25+ in the evening at Sweetgum Picnic area is not unusual.
