Changes in Vegetation
With cooling temperatures, the leaves on the deciduous maples, and birches have been quickly changing colors and falling onto the ground. The ground cover ferns have died off, and the buck thorn and honeysuckle plants have littered their leaves across the ground and into the stream.
Prominent Animals
Squirrels have created nests within the over story white pine trees, and run throughout the site. Within the brook, I have found Green frogs, and riffle beetles.
