On the advice of a member here (who I still hope to be able to meet up with) I went with a friend to Huntley Meadows in Arlington, VA. Didn't do any bushcrafting or surviving really, but I did make an effort to try and identify what few plants and animal species I know. It was a beautiful day out and the area wasn't at all crowded (probably because of the heat). Anyways, enjoy.
Huntley meadows is actually a pretty large wetlands. They have a few sections of trail that go through the woods, and some unofficial ones that come in from nearby houses, but the swamp area was the prettiest.
It's hard to see, but I believe that a large portion of the greenery in this "meadow" is actually cat tails. Or, as one person referred to them, cat 'o' nine tails. I've never heard them called that, and for some reason it made me think leather...
