Brooker Creek- Juan Amado

On November 4th my class and I went to Brooker Creek Preserve, It is one of the biggest natural areas in Pinellas county. The weather was great about 78 degrees.

During our walk in the trail we discussed the different characteristics of what a swamp, which is a very wet land ecosystem that has very poor drainage and is mostly dominated by trees. it was really cool to see how the surfaces changed from land to water.

We also got to see and discussed hammocks, high pine grassland and pine flatwooods. One of the most important thing for this ecosystem is fire because it gives the ecosystem the different nutrients it needs in order to survive.
