Nature Walk 10/6

I did this walk in the evening when it was about 50 degrees and raining on and off so it was harder to just see all of the different organisms especially fungi. However we were able to find many different plants and some mosses. I enjoyed this walk because I got to connect with people I had just recently met so it provided me with an opportunity to meet new people. As we learned in class, the Paleozoic era was the beginning of the presence of plants and fungi about 475ma. Given the Pre-Cambrian explosion was the largest extinction, most of the plant diversity that had grown to this point died. However, clearly, over a great amount of time this biodiversity greatly recovered to establish our environment today.
