Hammock Park
November 19, 2015
Dunedin, Florida

This is our final class field trip and oh how I will miss the hidden treasures, in our own backyards, that only Dr. G can introduce and pass on her excitement for the outdoors.  The weather was about 80 degrees, quite muggy and humid.  This park, again, takes me back to my elementary school days running around all over this park (which was more a recreational/summer camp park with a BMX track with jumps over the water and all).  The ecosystem observed was obviously hammock, with watershed areas.  The creek had brackish water and ultimately leads out to St. Joseph Sound; however while neither waterway is palatable, one suspects the creek is quite polluted.  Plants that were abundant were elephant ears, oak trees and citrus trees (which were evidence of prior fauna many moons ago.
