Boston College Pine Tree Reserve
On this cool, crisp fall day I decided to check out a hidden gem located next to Boston College's campus - the Pine Tree Reserve. A lovely 1.5 mile path next to the Newton Reservoir was home to numerous types of trees, plants, flowers, moss, and life forms. The crisp air and cool breeze filled the air as an overcast loomed with what appeared to be storm clouds coming in for the predicted rainfall tomorrow. I assume this must be the very beginning of remaining storm coming up from Hurricane Ian that recently did some heavy damage to Florida. As it makes its way up to us in Chestnut Hill, I took note of the fact that not many animals were present on my nature walk this week. In fact, I only saw a single squirrel, and only heard the buzzing of insects that called this reserve "home". It was extremely tranquil and a calming sense filled the air as I took note of the bountiful biodiversity that is right next to the very buildings I call home and school. I will definitely be coming back to this part of campus for simple relaxation and reflection, while also looking forward to seeing how the plants change in the upcoming fall and winter conditions!
