I hadn’t really explored Turkey Foot until my friend and her family moved right across the street from the trail. It’s somewhat similar to my site in Burlington since they are both right next to a major road and a river. Both areas experienced similar weather recently with falling temperatures and a bit of snow but Indiana’s winter will definitely be less harsh than Vermont’s with less precipitation and more sunlight. The ecology of the sites were starkly different since Turkey Foot had no coniferous trees which meant that there were no differences between under and overstory. I’m sure Indiana doesn’t host as diverse a range of species as Vermont and likely suffers from larger amounts of water pollution with highly developed lands and golf courses nearby… Burly > Indy
