For break, I stayed with my friends family in Oak Island North Carolina. During our time in Oak Island, we spent some time outdoors at the nature center at the Memorial Waterway Park area.

This place is special because it is an accessible place that allows people to be in nature. At this park, there are signs that help identify some plant and animal species, information about the land, a small garden, a dock that goes to the water, etc. With all that this place offers, it provides a natural area for everyone.


Compared to my phenology spot at Centennial, this place is smaller and has some similar and different plant species. Some of the plant species at this park are magnolia, red maple, sugar maple, red cedar, post oak, ladder fern, etc. Some of the animal species are great blue heron, red-tailed hawk, gray squirrel, snowy egret, etc.
