Ranger Steve’s Nature Niche Outdoors By Ranger Steve Mueller Deer in the city Green tip mystery Mysteries in nature niches are always present to please and challenge us. An article in one of the papers where my column appears suggest- ed a mystery “Ranger Steve” might try to solve. Fortunate- ly, I had already worked on it about 30 years ago. A recent article from the Ranger Steve Mueller Howard Christensen Nature Center posed a question about the green mystery in the Red Pine Alley forest where the ground is covered with green bough tips that accumulate during the winter. I have not contacted HCNC to clarify the location yet but I think they meant to describe the green on the floor of the “enchanted forest.” During the 20 years I was director at HCNC, I noticed branch tips from Norway Spruce accumulated all winter on Ed Bremmer, who lives on West Muskegon Street within the city limits of the forest floor. The spruce forest next to Red Pine Alley Cedar Springs, shared some photos with us of a deer family that likes to hang is known as the “Enchanted Forest” and that is where the out in his backyard. He said that this is the second year that the doe has had green on the forest floor increases all winter. Perhaps some- triplets. What a beautiful family!

The scattered carpets appear as electrified green glowing ground cover.
