Lower Hobble Creek Wildlife Preservation Area In-Class Field Trip Recap

It was fun (and cold) to visit lower hobble creek again. We went last fall and talked about grasses, rushes, sedges, etc. This time we spent most of our time inside clouds of cattail seeds and forests of phragmites. Also, we enjoyed the purple mustard and mint. And some of us enjoyed the Heron’s Bill, although that one is still not my favorite. Enjoy the photos – Feel free to use any of them for your nature journals.

Heron’s Bill
Thistle – some of us ate this guy, too. (Not the spines, but the leave and the central vein. Now would be a good time to dig these guys up to get their tasty taproots!)
Dead Sedge
cockle burrs
Mint – yum!
