Then there is the strong scent of pine from deep within the forest, or the less than desirable odor of decaying plant matter in standing water in stretches of bog. If you stop and listen closely, you can hear these sounds and more. Unfortunately, scent can't be transmitted over the Web, but sights and sounds can. Here are some examples of what you can see and hear at City Forest and in the surrounding woods. Video files require Windows Media Player. Sound files require an MP3 decoder.

The forest is always alive with sights, sounds, and smells: a red-winged blackbird fluttering from cattail to cattail in the marsh next to the arboretum, a woodpecker pounding a dead tree for insects, deer grunting to each other from thousands of feet away, and frogs courting each other from the beaver ponds and edge of the Orono Bog.
