There is so much wildlife and vegetation down here but at the same time there is a bridge which means there is constantly sound pollution from the cars. There are also a lot of people that fish along the river’s edge here.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

As you can see, Ethan Allen Homestead is going through the peak of its fall foliage right now and it is a extremely beautiful place for a walk. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n ![\"\"](\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/aianni\/files\/2020\/10\/IMG-2953-1024x768.jpg\")

Across the river you can see through the buffer of trees and a field very faintly. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n ![\"\"](\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/aianni\/files\/2020\/10\/IMG-2951-1024x768.jpg\")
This is the stream that runs out to the river, as you can see it has been raining a lot lately and the stream has water running out to the river. When I was here not even a month ago this stream was bone dry.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n ![\"\"](\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/aianni\/files\/2020\/10\/IMG-2950-1024x768.jpg\")

The trees are starting to lose the majority of their leaves which is indicating a transfer from fall to winter. The lower vegetation is starting to die off and the woods are starting to open up.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n Wildlife at Ethan Allen<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a scrape on a tree which shows that a Buck “male deer” was here at one point. They rub their antlers against the tree which takes off a layer of bark.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n ![\"\"](\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/aianni\/files\/2020\/10\/IMG-2961-1-769x1024.jpg\")
