Nature Walk 3 (Plants)

For this nature walk, I went to the Pine Tree Reserve on campus. It was pretty cold out during the walk, especially since it was after the sun went down. The walk ranged from around 6:40 to 7:10 PM, which meant that the darkness caused it to be somewhat difficult to find species to observe. However, I was able to find all four types of plants (Bryophyta, Polypodiopsida, Gymnosperms and Angiosperms) on the walk; the bryophyta observed was a moss growing on a tree, the polypodiopsida was a fern, likely of the genus Dennstaedtia, the gymnosperm was a pine tree and the angiosperm was a New England Hawkweed. Overall, it was an interesting walk attempting to find observations for each of the 4 main groups of plants.
