Today I went to Redrock’s Park in Burlington for a little hike. It was a chilly and windy morning but such an enjoyable hike. The leaves were a beautiful mix of yellows and oranges, but many leaves have already fallen. They made such a nice crunching sound under my feet as I walked and as they blew through the wind. I found so many fun discoveries today and saw many reoccurring features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today I found a lot of cool fungi! I am not exactly sure on what types they are but there was definitely a lot out today. This first image reminds me a lot of a turkey tail. The second little white mushroom was barred under some leaves but was a brilliant bright white. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I saw lots of different cool tree species as well on my hike. I saw this gorgeous yellow white birch and lots of Norway maples as well. All of the Norway maples were a bright green still. Lastly, we also found a huge piece of paper birch bark that was removed from the tree. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was such a fun walk full of so many different species that I discovered. I also saw many of the same species over again as well. There were not many changes since my last visit other than many of the trees were bare and the ground was covered in leaves. However, one thing I did notice is that the buckthorn was everywhere. Even towards the highest elevation points of Redrock’s there was still scattered buckthorn everywhere. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also drew up a quick map of Redrock’s Park with a few of the main landmarks and forest types that are housed there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
