Third Nature Walk

For my third nature walk, I explored the wooded area behind the Margot Connell Recreational Center & also walked about a quarter length of the Chestnut Hill Reservoir. On this particular walk, the weather was slightly chilly and felt like the first true day of fall we have experienced on the BC campus. With the weather being around 55 Fº, I was slightly cold yet the sun provided warmth and particular visibility of the species I was searching for and eventually observed. According to my recorded observation, I was able to identify and record the presence of all 4 of the types of plant which include: mosses, ferns, gymnosperms and angiosperms. Although I believe I was successful in my attempt, I found trouble finding angiosperms on my route as angiosperms are flowering plants. Since, in the northern hemisphere, angiosperms are known to bloom in the spring/summer months there was a small amount of angiosperms which I was able to identify due to their visible flowers. With this being said, I was glad to have been able to experience this beautiful fall day and use nature as a remedy for my stressful week of midterms.
