Pine Tree Preserve Walk 9/27/2022

I went to the Pine Tree Preserve on the Boston College campus that overlooks the chestnut hill reservoir. I went around 10 am and It was about 63 degrees Fahrenheit, and pretty muggy. It had just rained less than an hour before, so many of the plants were damp. It was on the brink of fall, so there were some leaves on the ground, and a lot of pine needles. There was a path to walk on that went around and up the hill with plenty of plants on either side. There was a variety of tall trees and smaller plants. There surprisingly were not that many bugs when I went, but there were a few squirrels that I did not manage to get a photo of. It was a pretty peaceful and well shaded area. You could hear some bugs humming, but also cars from the nearby roads. There were plenty of big rocks throughout the location.m, and many of them were covered with moss. Most of the plants seemed like weeds on the ground, but there was a good variety. Overall, if you looked closely, there was a lot of diversity in the plants at this preservation. There were not many visible animals, although I saw a few squirrels and heard bugs throughout the walk. It was a peaceful experience and it was nice to be able to take a break for 30 minutes and walk around nature for a change.
