In what ways do nature and culture intertwine at your place? I think that nature and culture here are intertwined by being able to experience the outdoors.

I went to Rock Creek park in Maryland. The creek feeds into the Potomac river that feeds into the Chesapeake Bay. There were many different woody plants in this new sight with oak trees and beech trees. I took these pictures (below) at the top of the hill above the creek. I noticed in Maryland …
February

The most noticeable species was the Burberry bushes that ran along the pathway. There were also a few maple trees that ran along the path opposite to the Burberry trees.

Centennial Woods
