On the 3rd day of the intersession "To the woods", we had a field trip to the Cox Aboretum. There, we saw many things on many trails, including different types of trees, flowers, and animals, as well as a ton of butterflies and bees. There were many flowers there in the main area around the carousel, but in the trails there were a lot fewer flowers but many types of grass and weeds located all around the trails we walked through. We also climbed a tree house that was around 24 feet high and were able to see trees for miles in one direction in wilderness that man hasn't taken down.
We were given an assignment to find at least 5 different types of trees and take pictures of them. This required us to travel around the aboretum and find all the different types of trees and even travel into some trails to find different types. The types of trees we found were: Blue spruce, evergreen, maple, oak, and pine trees. There were other types of trees but we didn't take pictures of them.
