Our final visit to Rock Point for the semester \ud83d\ude41 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was cloudy, a little chilly, but overall nice. The snowfall was pretty, but the landscape looked very barren. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a lack of density, you could see right through to the water. Without the leaves, you could really see the vines and woody material scattered on the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was still some green in the herbaceous, ground cover plants. There weren’t many conifers in my little area, predominantly maples and some other young hardwood species, so there was a significant amount of leaf litter.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

There was no visible signs of decomposers or tracks. It’s difficult to find those things since the snow was starting to melt off and there was a lot of plants covering the ground. While not directly in my area, on the walk down to the site, we saw deer! There were 3 just standing there staring at us. A bird flew overhead at one point which was interesting since it’s so cold out.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Rock Point has been such a pleasure to visit. I have loved every second I have spent on that property and am so excited to visit again in the spring! I think the part I loved most about my place was the fact that it felt so incredibly wild, even though it was a few minute drive from the heart of downtown Burlington. Being able to look off the trail and into a densely populated ecosystem is just such a beautiful thing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
