Welcome to the blog!

As part of the Mapping and Measurements (NR 25) class at the University of Vermont, we are mapping and inventorying a 1-hectare plot within Niquette Bay State Park in Colchester, VT. We will move up through the layers of the landscape throughout the next month, analyzing everything from bedrock geology to plant species to wildlife habitat. We hope you enjoy learning about our site as much as we do!

In this image of our soil pit, you can see both the O and A horizon dug so far. The O horizon measured about +3 inches (7.62 cm) and the A horizon was -8 inches (20.32 cm). Both horizons have roots from the numerous horsetails visible.
