Hey guys! I’m home for thanksgiving break and I wanted to share a bit about my experience. Unlike the beautiful woods of Intervale I only had my backyard to study, not that it’s not beautiful too!
Some pictures of my backyard and my dog!
New England ecology is much different than that of The South, Texas specifically. The most noticeable difference being the trees and soil, my neighborhood used to be a pecan orchard meaning that all the trees in my backyard are pecan trees. This is much different than the many different types of hardwood trees such has maple, which aren’t usually seen in the landscape. Texas soil also differs by being made up of clay slow drained soils, unlike the sandy soils that’s usually seen in Vermont. A cool fun fact is that squirrels in the south are different! Instead of the cool grey squirrels that we have here in Vermont the Texas squirrels are a warm hazelnut brown.
