Practice Journal!
Finn was on a school trip to Branbury State Park, and we took the opportunity to practice iNaturalist. We took a few pictures in the seemingly rich forest surrounding the campground and Sucker Creek.
Thanks to all who helped with identifications!

White Ash (Fraxinus americana)Observer
glennetterDescription
Not sure if this is green ash or white ash, or maybe something else! Seems like an ash sapling of some kind, seven leaflets per leaf on all visible leaves. Habitat seems more consistent with White Ash - growing alongside road in Branbury State Park campground.

I'm not a strong botanist, but I think this is Fragaria vesca based on Go Botany information and habitat. But maybe it's Fragaria virginiana or something else. Any corrections appreciated!
