Field Notes
We're happy because we're outside in the sun with lots of plants. We see red berries on a rose plant (is it rugosa?) We smell humus and leaves and we see black walnuts on the ground. The stream is close and we can hear the ducks. We didn't expect to find so many walnuts and so many different species of plants. We are not sure what many of the species are, but we were able to identify some grasses, a blackberry shrub, aster, lupin, black walnuts, and some other species.
Supporting Evidence
No leaves fit the description. There were some leaves that were the right size- between 5 cm and 13 cm, but these leaves were not glossy and not toothed .
There are no plants with berries in our quadrat.
There are no woody vines. There are no tree structures for the vines to grow on.
