Hammock Park

For our very last field trip, we explored Hammock Park in Dunedin. It was around 47 degrees out and there was about a 95% cloud coverage. Hammock Park is a manged environment that got its name because the map of the park looked like a hammock. 

The park had numerous different trails that you could walk, jog, or take your puppies on a stroll down.

The park also had trash cans that where made to put air potatoes in, so they can try to keep the species from spreading.

The park also had a large diversity of plants. We saw mangroves, Oaks, potato vine, beauty berry, Spanish moss, beach lavender, Indians paintbrush, and many more.

We also saw a variety of animals. They ranged from bunnys to snakes, and lizards to turtles.

The park had a stream that outlined the back and side of the park. The stream had a wier in it. (a type of water gage.)

We also saw a tree that had a tree scab. A tree scab is when a tree tries to heal itself.
