Field trip to the Fairfield Osborn Preserve, with A Watershed Year freshman experience class. I hiked up to Kelly Pond with a group of students so they could collect field data for a research project. It’s quite a hike up to the pond, which is near the northern end of the preserve. Covered with Azolla, the pond is a peaceful and lovely place to visit.
After leaving Kelly Pond, we made a quick stop at Turtle Pond, which is surrounded by Broad-leaved Cattail.
On the way out, we found some Scurfy Twiglets and California Slender Salamanders.
