Slowly replacing with native hardwoods and shrubs . . . Interesting! I thought wineberries a native vine, until I looked them up on Wikipedia (admittedly not the last word on plants).

I do, however, also find them delicious. Last month, I was devouring them during local walks. It sure beats paying for raspberries at the store! Your training sounds challenging. The White Clay Preserve in London Britain offers a lot of nice dirt trails for runners. Heather The wineberries are considered invasives and are removed in some natural areas.
