Oct 24, Nature Walk
I took a walk near the Res by Boston College Campus and along the backside of the 2k apartment buildings where there is a lot of wild and semi-cultivated growth areas for wildlife and pets. The weather today was relatively warm for new England fall and bright with some clouds. Took my friend who could care less about the environment and made him go on a "phylogeny scavenger hunt." We spotted Bryophyta, angiosperms, gymnosperms, and my favorite: polypodiopsida. Looked at the underside of the ferns for any signs of sori but didn't see them, maybe in springtime.
