Lone rock is beginning to look look it did when I first went there in the summer! Everything is coming alive again, the water is unfrozen and waves have resumed crashing against the rocks. The bed of the forest and edge of the rocks are covered in green grass. I noticed one type of spring […]

Over spring break, I visited Niagara Falls, a very different ecosystem than Lone Rock. Niagara Falls was created thousands of years ago, during the Ice Age when water hurtled over the rim of a steep slope called the Niagara Escarpment.

I walked across the frozen lake and climbed up the cliff to lone rock on this visit. It was so beautiful and one of the most amazing things I’ve ever experienced. The sun was shining brightly, only a few cirrus clouds swept across the sky. The rocks were much less icy than in February, but […]

Scott’s Run Embedded Map Description in the style of Leopold The trees stand with few brightly colored orange and yellow leaves on their bearing limbs.

Event Map: The November winds today were fierce and sharp as I stood next to a cedar tree and gazed into the sun, which was glaring amidst the clouds.
