Plant-focused nature walk at Boston College and at Gordon College

I went for a class event in the La Vida program at Gordon College. The weather was nice and calm - it was not too windy, chilly, or hot. The sun's heat was balanced by the general cold temperature of the area. The area I came on was on a small hill, and it was slightly elevated. This was a rich environment for finding different plant organisms because there is a variety of plants and trees in the area. I noticed a lot of mosses, and they were more concentrated on lower levels like on the ground or at the base of a tree. This makes sense since mosses are a part of Bryophyta, which are nonvascular plants and therefore need to be located closer to the ground for easier access to water. I also observed a plant that I thought looked like a fern (which is a seedless vascular plant). But I later discovered that the plant was actually a Hemlock, which is a type of evergreen tree that looks like a fern. An evergreen tree is an example of a non-flowering, vascular plant (which is in the gymnosperm group). I made most of my observations at Gordon College, but I also made some observations at Boston College.
