Rock Point seemed like a great place to be immersed in nature but unfortunately our lab group wasn’t able to go. That’s why for this assignment, I chose a small area off the marching grounds at rock point. If you follow the trails to the marching grounds and head to the right side, about halfway up and to the right is my spot.
The vegetation in the area consisted mostly of sugar maple and buckthorn in the under-story and a variety of oaks and pines in the over-story.
Over-story: Northern White Cedar, Eastern White Pine, Northern Red Oak, White Oak
Under-story: buckthorn, sugar maple
Most common Woody Plants: Sugar Maple, Northern White Cedar, Eastern White Pine
