Nature Walk 9/29 Pine Tree Reserve
For the first nature walk, I decided to explore the Pine Tree Reserve which is located on Boston College's campus. The Pine Tree Reserve is a small 4-acre lot that contains many different types of organisms, having a vast biodiversity. From a class standpoint, throughout my 30 minute walk, I observed many species that would be apart of the plant kingdom called Plantae. This taxonomy of organisms was started by a scientist named Carl Linnaeus. The sun was shining and it was 63 degrees with a light breeze making it a perfect fall afternoon. Throughout this walk, I found many different species, ranging from insects, to plants, to animals. I walked this loop several times with different routes each time, noticing new species each time. After 30 minutes of spending time in nature, I felt calmer and more relaxed, heading into the weekend with an open mindset.
