Nature Walk: Plants

I went for a walk in the woods by Sucker Brook in Oxford, MA today. It was very pleasant outside in the 50's and quiet and calm. There were many of the same species of plants, so my observations have captured some of the abundant types of plant species/what I found most interesting during my walk. I am not certain whether I observed two types snowberries: one fruiting and another non-fruiting. I was also excited to find a moss species because we had talked about them this past week in lecture and it made sense that it was growing in a moist environment near a river. In addition, I noticed that the fern did not have spores on its underside at this point during its life cycle.
