What. A. Year. It is crazy to think how much has changed from the first day I visited the Redstone Quarry. I remember not being sure if I was on private property and sitting by the pond and sketching plants. Since then, I have gone back, both for purpose of this class and for fun. …

City Nature Challenge
I think the City Nature Challenge is an amazing event because of how successful it has been at gathering data and getting people outside. It is amazing for bringing people together from around, without being physically together in these times of a pandemic. Unfortunately, I do not have a phone that allows me to post …
Spring Is Here
It was very nice to visit while everything is emerging. The wild feels live again, even though it never died. What’s so fun about right now is seeing all the different plants at different stages. Some plants are bare, some have buds, some buds are starting to bloom, and some are covered and leaves. Though …
Spring is Coming
As spring rapidly approaches, I decided to go to North Beach over the weekend. While I do not have a photo of it, I saw a very large flock of birds flying north and got really excited. The birds know what’s up. I saw the first bulb popping out of the ground on campus. It …
Winter Life
Since I was last here, there is a lot more snow. Life has diffidently slowed down, but not stopped. The conifers have their needles, and everything else is bare. The bare weeping willows look very interesting. The main wildlife remaining here are birds. The pond is frozen over, but I suspect life is still buzzing …

I very much enjoyed my time spend in Redstone Quarry. As someone who lived on Redstone Campus, it was fascinating to spend time in the same spot that many of the rocks used to build those building were from. Overall, this project gave me an excuse to spend time in nature alone, which I never …
Nature at Home
I live in Hoboken, NJ, which is the fourth densest populated city in the country. Having 55,000 in a square mile does not really allow for a lot of nature. Because of this, my main go-to spot is an abandoned pier. This weird is where my friends and I spent an unholy amount of time …
Event Map
Since my last visit, the trees are barer, the birds are fewer, and the squirrels are fatter. Last week I bought some Dunkin and sat of the cliff to watch the sunset. I 100% recommend doing this. Photos are below and I wrote a Haiku at the end. The Redstone Quarry: A Haiku beautiful quarry …
Map and Update
Since my last visit, the leaves have been changing color, some even all the way to brown. As sad as it is to see bare trees, it is beautiful to know that the leaf-covered ground will breakdown to nourish the forest for next summer. In terms of wildlife, there were a lot fewer birds and …
