Leaving our well kept and ordered Master Gardens, just behind our Greenhouse and Demonstration Beds lies a short but informative trail through the woodlands located at the back of the Extension office grounds where you can find out about the trees and other plants that grow wild in this part of Texas.
There are places for any that want to rest or just to sit and take in all that mother nature gives us here in East Texas. At the back of the trail there is a large picnic table where visitors can just rest or enjoy a snack in the primitive surroundings.
As you enter the woodland trail the first marked tree is on the right and is a Water Oak. In the image above it is the first tree just as you enter. The next marked tree is an Eastern Red Cedar. The pages that take you on the virtual woodland trail follow the trail to the right. Along the way, several trees have signs with their name at the base. The accompanying web pages (a work still in progress) offer additional information on each of the trees and plants that have been marked with a sign.
The trail is a work in progress and will continually grow in the information offered with signs and placards placed inconspicuously so as to not detract from the natural flora.
The current Bed Heads for our Woodland Trail are Mike and Martha Deming. The trail was initially cut through by Andre Brogoitti. Andre, other Master Gardeners and our local boy scout troop constructed the bridges across the creek and the picnic table at the back of the Woodland Trail. We want to thank all who contributed to this effort by the Cypress Basin Master Gardeners Association and to invite the public out to relax along the trail and see a naturally wooded area for this part of East Texas.
Here is a list of the trees and Plants on our Woodland Trail

Robert Stiles |
Robert became a MG in 2022 and started helping with anyone who needed help. He saw a new for someone to manage our mulch and offered to be what is now known as our “Mulch Manager”. And in 2025 became a co bedhead for our Woodland Trail. So thanks to Robert and all MGs that make our Woodland Trail what it is. | |
Tim Regnold |
Tim will become a MG in 2025. His wife Tracey became one in 2024 and Tim has been around every workday to help anyone who needed help even before he becomes a member. Now, in 2025, Tim has said he would like to also be a bed head of the Woodland Trail. He will graduate to become a full MG in 2025. Thanks Tim for all you do around the site. |
