Plant Nature Walk – 10/20/22
Today I went on a nature walk to observe the many different plants surrounding Pine Tree Preserve. The weather for most of the day was reasonably cloudy/misty but come around 3:30 pm, the clouds went away, and the sun came out. During my nature walk, the temperature was around 60 degrees in addition to Pine Tree Preserve's fairly shady landscape. There, I found several different types of plants – the first being moss which is part of the Bryophyta, a nonvascular plant group. As expected, the moss was low to the ground, flushed to a tree's bark, and fairly damp to the touch. Another plant I found was a fern which is a Polypodiospsida – a non-flowering seed plant group. The ferns were a bright green color with large-sized leaves. The 3rd group I was able to identify was the gymnosperm, non-flowering seed plant group, and I did so through the group of pine trees that were in the preserve. They were extremely tall with needles that were hard and pointy to the touch. Finally, I came across many flowers in Pine Tree Preserve, otherwise known as angiosperms. They varied in color and size, illustrating the amount of biodiversity in both the angiosperm group and the general plant category. Although not the main topic of this nature walk, I did take note of a large section of fungi mushrooms that were spread out across the preserve
