Nature. Nature exists ever since the beginning of time when God created earth. Nature shaped and molded mankind in its cultures, societies, and philosophies over the course of nature’s existence. Nature influenced people’s way of living, the way they act and react, the way people view what they see, the way they think, and the way people learn and believe for centuries. People used nature in designing their art. People crafted art in forms of music, paintings, and literature overflowing with imagery
A hike through Camden Hills State Park will allow one to see the aged and looming American Beech trees, scattered throughout the forest populated along with Eastern White Pines and Big Tooth Aspens. Many may not know of the bitter yet beneficial tea that can be made from the White Pine's needles, or that the dandelions at your feet can be picked and used in many different recipes. Once the trek to the peak is made, many people from a wide variety of locations may be found picnicking, socializing
I have lived here all my life, and I need to see the world. These Eucalyptus leaves aren’t tasting like they used too. Is there a drought? That can’t be, the river was the highest it has ever been the last time I checked! I need to go see if it really is, and I sure hope it’s not. “Oh no,” I couldn’t stand to see the river like this. Other koalas were coming in to see the river, just like I had done. “This can’t be happening,” another koala to my left said. “What does this mean?” I didn’t know

It’s snowing outside. Snowflakes drift slowly down to the ground, bright against the dark night sky, illuminated by the warm light coming from the window. A sudden breeze blows, and the snowflakes follow, a flurry of white swirling in the wind, before resuming their downwards trajectory to join so many others of their kind in piling heaps of snow. Inside, two skiing jackets, damp from the day’s activities, hang from their respective chairs. The log cabin is quiet, the only sound that of a fire crackling
Keeva The woods are beautiful this time of year. Trees barren of their summer leaves now covered with ice and snow. Snow covered landscapes that glimmer in the Winter sun. At times as blinding as they are beautiful. Yet no one comes to see their beauty. For Keeva, the white wolf, it is her home. She walks silently as if her immense weight has no effect on the gentle snow underfoot. Trusting there is no one to hear her muffled steps yet cautious all the while, she pads softly in the snow.

Trees have fascinated humans for thousands of years and have played a major role in mythologies all over the world, largely because of their utility, longevity, and often impressive stature. Additionally, trees play a major role in the ecology of the Earth by reducing erosion and moderating the climate by removing CO2 from the atmosphere and storing large amounts of carbon in their tissues (Kozlowski 1971).

Plants make up most of the Pine Barrens. For instance, pine trees such as the short needles, pitch pines, jack pines, long needles, yellow pines, and many others make up most of the pine forest in the Pinelands. Other trees include the pine oaks and the cedar trees. Due to the roots of these cedar trees, water in the Pine Barrens appears a brownish red color. This happens because the roots emit pigments of red color into the soil which then runs into the water. Even though the amount of red pigment
My Museum Critique I have selected the artwork Three Trees, Two Clouds by John Beerman 1990 because it caught my attention as soon as I entered the room. Its bright pinks and oranges just captivated me and pulled me in. As soon as I saw the artwork, it brought up good memories of when I use to live in upstate New York; which made me feel happy and helped me enjoy the painting even more. I was so captivated by the painting that I could not keep my eyes off it. As I sat on the cushion and stared at
Introduction Rhamnus cathartica L., otherwise known as common buckthorn, is a small shrub native to Europe and Asia that was introduced to North America in the 1800’s (Mascaro and Schnitzer 2007). R. cathartica is a deciduous, branched shrub that grows to heights of two to eight meters.

The seeds are dispersed by fauna, mainly birds, which largely contributes to its accelerated invasion

A passage from, “The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian” by Sherman Alexie, contrasts Junior’s memory of climbing a giant pine tree next to Turtle Lake with Junior’s journey through his ninth grade year.

Seed and Seedling Comparison in Two Tree Stands The trees of Heiberg Forest vary greatly by area. One area could be heavily shaded by huge mature trees, with rich, cool and moist air. Another could be a much sunnier area, with younger trees and sapplings. Just a few steps can take you to a completely different atmosphere. There is a reason why certain areas are the way they are. Factors contributing to the trees of an area can range from land use history, soil quality, or human intervention. One
