Today the group was taken on a plant identification trip through Squam Swamp by Kelly from the Nantucket Conservation Foundation (NCF). We saw some beautiful scenery, learned about the native plants on Nantucket, and even climbed a big Beech Tree. The landscape of Nantucket is so diverse; one day we are exploring the beaches and the next day we are wandering through a forest. It’s incredible and intriguing. Here are some pictures that I took during today’s adventure.
