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 picture, yr big White Pine looks like its playing Sugar Maple dress-up. Whyever not? I mean, we change our drag all the time, right?
