Spring Fever

As result of the tree removal taking place the trails of Winstrom Park are closed, therefore we were not able to thoroughly search the woods for signs of spring. However, we were able to find some evidence that spring is among us on the soccer fields and near the parking lot.

The trees getting taken down are Scotch and Austrian Pines because their life span is up. This means these trees are dying, if not dead, and could fall over and cause problems if not taken care of.

We were able to gather up a little evidence from the parking lot and field areas however!


When I think of spring I know the first thing that comes to my mind is blooming and reproduction. Now there are two types of reproduction: Asexual and Sexual reproduction


Sexual Reproduction (to the right):
- The most common form of reproduction among plants and animals (i.e. mating)


Asexual Reproduction (to the left):
- Reproduction used by bacteria, yeast, hydra, and some types of Jellyfish
- The organism splits into two or more individuals




Plants is the main focus of Spring however. The most common form of reproduction amongst plants is sexual. There a variety of ways one plant can pollinate another, whether it be shooting is pollen into the air, using other plants to pollinate it, or just simply touching each other.
