I picked this site because it is about a twenty minute walk from campus and includes three different aspects. The bike path, park area, and the lake. With these sections, the seasons can be observed through certain lenses and will impact all three of these sections.
Layout
In the park, you can see some planted flowers, a row of bushes, a row of trees, and some very nice greenery. It is clear that everything in this location was man made at one point in time and planted in a certain way. it is definitely taken care of as there are no invasive species found. Because of this fact, there is also very little vegetation found besides some bushes and fallen twigs from the nearby tree species.
Woody Plants
- The tree species that is on the left in the below picture is one that I haven’t seen before. I don’t believe that it is one we have learned and it also isn’t one that’s present around campus.
- The second type of tree is one that’s located along the back side of the park, these are sugar maples.
