Nature Walk #3- Plants

For this week's nature walk, I ventured back to the Hammon Pond Preservation. I went around 5:20 pm and the weather was very chilly. I noticed a lot more of the trees had changed leaf colors since the last time I visited this trail. Almost immediately upon entering the area, I came across 2 phenotypically different species of Byrophyta, commonly called moss. Moss belongs to the nonvascular plant group. The preservation had the greatest abundance of Byrophyta compared to any of the other 3 groups. I was unable to find any angiosperms on my walk, but I suspect that's due to the colder weather. I did find a few species of ferns that belong to the seedless vascular group. But, I also struggled to find gymnosperms on my walk. However, it was a very nice walk and the preservation had an abundance of plant species in it.
