It can be very useful to know and understand the trees around you, so I went searching the VT campus looking for common tree species that are found within the Stroubles Creek Watershed. Many of these trees are native, but there are some non-native and/or invasive species within the watershed as well. This is likely due to the fact that the watershed is in an urban area, so many of the original trees were removed to allow for development. Because the watershed is mostly comprised of an urban forest (street trees, park trees, and private trees), you may notice many ornamental trees if you explore the area. Additionally, the old growth forest commonly known as Stadium Woods located on the VT campus is located within the watershed, so I will post some additional information on Stadium Woods in another post.

Wow, very nicely done. Check the family name of the Sweet Gum. You may want to represent the change the way you did for the Dawn Redwood, or somehow indicate there is a change (or controversy).
ReplyDeleteFixed it! Thanks for pointing that out.
