Behind and Around the Chestnut Hill Reservoir on October 19, 2022

My friend and I walked behind and around the Chestnut Reservoir on October 19 for around 35 minutes. The weather was beautiful since the sun was out and there were no clouds in the sky. The wind was a little strong towards the end of the walk, but it felt nice to walk around the reservoir. While on our nature walk, we looked for a variety of plants that we learned about in class: vascular, non-vascular, and angiosperms. It was hard to find different plants since many of them were wilting. However, we found a few flowering plants and tall trees with different color leaves. The colors of the trees started to change color compared to the last walk, which was really interesting to see. The walk helped us visualize the types of plants we are learning about in class and their different characteristics, such as where they are found and what they include (roots, stems, and leaves). Overall, I enjoyed my walk around the reservoir.
