Over Thanksgiving Break, I went to my condo in New Hampshire for a few days. When I was here, I went to Jackson Falls In Jackson NH. It is located on the Wildcat River and has cascading drop over 100’.
Jackson Falls is much different than Centennial Woods In VT. Jackson Falls is much more water dominant, while Centennial Woods has more land. Jackson falls has sandstone rock slabs and bedrock, there are also plenty of pothole pools! Some types of trees that I saw were Eastern White Pine, Northern Red Oak (deeper in the woods), Hemlock, and Paper Birch. While In VT, we see the same trees, Eastern Hemlock, Paper Birch, Red Maple, and Eastern White Pine.
Honorable Harvest- I wanted to leave something at Jackson Falls, so I did! I actually ended up leaving a Sugar Maple leave that I found on the ground during my first few weeks here in VT. I thought it would be cool to bring a leave from a whole different state and living habitat (even though it was really dead). I didn’t get a picture of it though because the water took it too fast.
