Mass Audubon's Great Marsh Wildlife Sanctuary, Barnstable, MA
This past weekend, I walked with my family through Mass Audubon's Great Marsh Wildlife Sanctuary in Cape Cod. I had never been on the trails there before, so it was nice to explore the trails for the first time. It was a sunny day, though occasionally there were strong gusts of wind. Along the trails, there were many fallen branches from the stormy weather a few days before. As I was walking, I noticed many holly plants, which I was surprised by. I was also surprised by the variety plants I found on the walk. This walk encouraged me to pay closer attention to the plants in my surroundings. I also saw many ferns, though many appeared to be dead or dying. In addition, I also noticed that there were not many plants with flowers during this time. While I was walking, there was also a group of turkeys nearby, so I added that to the journal entry as well.
