Nature Walk #3

On my third nature walk I tried to find organisms that I had not previously documented on either of my other walks. The weather was nice, slightly cool and damn as it had previously rained this morning. Our focus was on plants, specifically plats from each of the 4 main groups, Bryophyta, Polypodiopsida Gymnosperms, and Angiosperms. For the Bryophyta group I found moss, or Boulder Broom Moss, which was probably named like that as I found it growing on a rock. For the polypodiopsida group I found ferns, or Dennstaedtia. For gymnosperms I found a Red Pine tree and a Paper Birch tree. Finally, for angiosperms I found Blanketflowers, White Wood Asters, and a few other leafy flowering plants. I did not have a hard time finding a plant from any category, which emphasises the community nature of all of these groups living alongside each other. Had I stayed for longer I could've probably found even more plants for each group, as they are extremely numerous. Overall, I had a good final nature walk and may continue to go on my own.
