Coming back to my spot almost a month later, I was expecting a completely different forest. To my surprise, quite a few maples were hanging onto their yellow leaves.
There were a few fallen trees around my spot, as well as many crunchy leaves on the ground. There is also the beginning of a man-made shelter in the circle. I’m interested to see how this progresses, and if the people that started it continue to come back.
I had a very nice experience sitting in my spot and observing the nature. Because lots of trees had dropped their leaves, I could see across the marsh area into the Eastern White Pines. It was a balmy day for November, almost 72 degrees, and very windy.
For my map, I highlighted important vegetation like types of trees and large areas of smaller plants. There is also a small area of water running through my area.
