Moccasin Lake Park
90 degrees Fahrenheit
Our day began around 10 am at the moccasin lake nature park, a 51-acre nature preserve. The trails in the park allowed us to observe wild life and different types of vegetation.
Our first activity was to pull weeds like the Caesar weeds and air potato. We did this for about 45 minutes, we were lucky that the area was shaded so it did not feel as hot. While doing this, we learned that these are very invasive plants and could potentially slow down or stop the growth different vegetation around them.
During our walk we heard different types of animals and actually got see some spiders and their nests. We also got see some turtles and at the river we saw a catfish. At the end of our trip we went to the environmental education center where we got to see many different animal species.
The trip
was an amazing experience where I got to learn many things about
different ecosystems and forms of life. It was a great way to start the
weekend.
