Algonquin Park contains over 1500 lakes with at least 230 of these lakes containing native Brook Trout population. Thus, it has the greatest concentration of Brook Trout lakes and streams in the world. Because the limitation of fishing, and many lakes and streams exist in the Park, fishes have chance to grow, and the growth rate should be positive in every year. Algonquin Park has some rules for protecting fishes. For example, no live baitfish. That rule will protect water bodies from non-native fish. Algonquin Park checks species of fish every year, if there are some species of fish without natural enemy, they will try to clean those fish, because they will keep growing, until they fill in all of lakes and streams, and extirpate all other

If you’ve ever been to a national park, you will probably remember the experience for the rest of your life. But what is it that makes you remember that experience? Is it the sights, or the landmarks, or the history behind the park? Well I believe that Glacier Bay national park in Alaska is the most beautiful because of all of these reasons. The sights are breath taking; the tidewater glaciers are spectacular; and the history behind the park is intriguing. The Grand Canyon is beautiful, but are their kayaking trips or whales in it? Does Yellowstone have a history dating back to the Ice Age?
The Deep Creek Conservation Park was full of wildlife and plants. Many people in the group saw lots of kangaroos and bird species that live in the area (See figure 8). We saw a few animal tracks on the camp as well which shows that the area is full of wildlife. While there the group also noticed some human impacts such as paths, long drops or other sustainable practices that humans have made to make the environment more sustainable in the long run. Although these practices were effective many small improvements could be made such as teaching people who use the park correct usage such as not feeding the animals. Other improvements that could be made could be things such as putting lights in the toilets so people can see or making paths easier to walk on.

A cigarette butt lies next to my foot, still emitting a trace of smoke. Nearby on the dusty asphalt a pigeon waddles self-consciously, bobbing its head as if pecking the air for some invisible food. A squirrel churrs a threat to his brother, challenging him to romp.
On September 9th, 2017 at approximately 7 p.m., I went to Gracedale Public Park to carefully conduct my observation on the individuals, who were at the park and their specific activities in the one hour of time. When I got there, the weather was beautiful with soft winds, a clear sky and with some dim sunlight. The park was full of people of all ages. Though, there were more kids than adults and some teenagers. There were many bicycles and strollers parked beside the tree I sat under. After a couple of minutes, the park filled up with more and more individuals and everyone seemed busy doing their own actions.

To you this feels almost as if the sunlight is coming from beside, you as well as in front of you, and in part creating shadows in every direction. Once again, you observe that the leaves on the trees also contain shadows of the leaves surrounding them. You notice that the shadows do not create complete blackness, but that they are still in the tones of greens, browns, and greys. The color is just desaturated or more muted. Suddenly, you notice that the intensity of sunlight is highest at the top of the trees, in the middle you notice a more neutral color tone is formed and at the bottom the color of the tree becomes more muted and greyed out. To you this highlights how the sun and its light projects from high above the trees showing the relationship between the position of the light source and the effect it has on the surface it touches. You found this observation was similar to the grass noticing that you observed three distinct colors within the grass as well: green, light green and, yellow. Overall, you found that the park contained areas of concentrated light and dense shadow which created high contrast and layers of color
