Introduction to Salmon Hole – I chose Salmon Hole because it is far enough from campus that I can make an adventure out of visiting it while I can still go easily without it taking an entire afternoon. I really wanted my location to be somewhere that had water, so originally I was going to do a location on Lake Champlain. But then after doing some research, I thought that Salmon Hole would be a cool spot that still checked all of my boxes. Being from Vermont, I have been in downtown Burlington a lot but never to Salmon Hole, so it is an entirely new location for me. Getting there was pretty easy, I took the on campus bus to Trinity then walked about 15 minutes from there to the water. I could also walk the entire way would would be more like 45 minutes.
Vegetation and Woody Plants – Most of the vegetation by the water were vines that grew along trees as well as some flowers and long grass. The fall colors were still very vibrant so most trees were yellow and orange. The following list includes – in no particular order – the most prominent species I observed at Salmon Hole (woody plants and other)
- Eastern Cottonwood
- Riverbank Grape
- Bittersweet
- White Ash
- Rock Elm
- Silver Maple
- Deer Tongue Grass
- American Asters
- Red Osier Dogwood
- Green Ash
- Buckthorn
- Goldenrods
- Staghorn Sumac
- Norway Maple
