Despite it being blanketed with snow, on the 13th, me and my dad climbed to the summit of Mount Manadnock. Most of the mountain is covered with Red Spruce and Balsam Fir, but the peak is clear due to fires made by colonists in the early 1800s. They apparently did this to remove Eastern Wolves that were killing their livestock.

Red Spruces and Balsam Fir are both native and tolerant of the harsh winter conditions and rocky soil of Manadnock.
