Hitchiti Experimental Forest

  
Me hugging a tree!
We walked down a 2-3 mile trail in the forest and discovered many different plants including Wild Ginger, which is an awesome name, and saw the damage to the trees that the Southern Pine Beetle has done.  Apparently when one tree has been affected, usually the other trees in the same area will be cut down because they will most likely get attacked as well.  It was a beautiful walk where we saw different environments that the plants and animals live in.  Like rock that had moss on it and different kind of bugs that would be seen in the more forested parts of the area.  The water at the very end of the trail was beautiful and getting lost for a few moments wasn't bad either!
