beautiful elevated look of the trees where you can see more of the detail than you would with being on the ground. One of the glories about the park is that it offers visitors the ability to gaze upon rare trees, one of which being the Tupelo (Black Gum) tree, rare to Maine due to the latitude, and are one of the tallest trees in the area.…

prime, there are photo-ops galore. Millikan's Overlook is a don't-miss for photography buffs. Hike up Buzzard's Roost to see the lone Virginia Pine and surrounding views of the wooded canyon. How about a zip lining adrenalin rush? As multicolored tree tops go whizzing by, you'll marvel at the variety of shapes and hues as you "fly" through the…

The Temperate Deciduous Forest The temperate deciduous forest is located in Canada, Japan, China, Japan, parts of Russia, and the eastern half of United States. Everywhere there in those places were described as beautiful and majestic. When the leaves fall down from the trees down to the soil, the nutrients in the leaves are being absorbed by the soil. The soils of the temperate deciduous forest tend to be very fertile. Also, because of this, the biome has fertile soil and a long, 5-6 month…

When we think of autumn, we think about the hot and humid days coming to an end, and the various colors of changing leaves. However, if you want to experience the true beauty of autumn, the Blue Ridge Mountain is the place to be. The sight of the mountain and the sound of the aging trees and their various color leaves brought peace to my soul. Also, the various fragrances that lingers in the air is breathtaking and relaxing. As I drove along the long frosty, and foggy road of Blue Ridge Mountain…

know that trees control climate change, which can affect the condition of water temperatures. Accompanying high temperatures, marine life cannot adapt to the water, making it likely for them to die. Another possible problem without trees is flooding. Tree root systems control the water flow of excess rainwater by absorbing…

golden rays across the land, the autumn dawn was born. Famous for the snow white clouds moseying against the duel shades of blues and oranges painted across the picturesque sky, birds simultaneously tweeted out to each other in a chorus. An ancient oak tree proudly guarded the fields, casting a magnificent shadow across the shrubbery that surrounded it. He reached out and took the coffee. He swirled the cup in an unconscious circle, as though his hands were not affiliated with his body. Taking…

walks with a rapid gait, uneasily glancing about the forest. The trees suddenly break revealing a large clearing, the dewy grass glistening in the moonlight. In the center of the clearing a massive tree looms above, an ancient sentinel watching over the forest. She slows as she approaches the tree, scanning the area around her. The hair stands on the back of her neck and she wheels around.* *Landing on silent wings, a massive owl stands before her, easily three times her height. It looks…

The CREW Marsh trails are composed of four ecosystems: pine flatwoods, marsh, pop ash slough, and hammock. Each of these ecosystems have different soils and vegetation. The first trail that I took was the Pine Flatwood trail. I found that the ground was flat and sandy, and there were little to no puddles or mud on the ground. As the name of the trail suggested, the majority of the trees in this ecosystem were tall pines, though I did see some palm trees. There was a lot of open air, and…

an eerie feeling and the whispers on the wind. The birds were chirping with glee as sticks snapped under my weight. The trees surrounding you are like a fortress of solitude for the lonely mind. Deeper yet I traverse and I stumble upon a mystical tree stump. It had blue and green aura around it that was rotating and swirling with sparks coming off. Then I heard a voice, “Come near weary traveler and drink from the base of the stump.” As the cool water quenched my thirst I felt stronger and more…

Beauty on a Mountain The sun had not yet risen, but it was light just enough for us to see where we were going. My sister and I were taking a walk in a forest during a family camping trip. The spring air was cooler than usual even at that hour. The forest was quiet except for our footsteps and the sound of the soft breeze moving through the branches of the trees that surrounded the two of us. We wandered aimlessly at first, climbing on large boulders like young children and weaving our way…
