We're Rooting for You!

Through identifying various types of plants, you'll gain an understanding about an important part of this ecosystem, which is the community of organisms and their relationship with their surroundings. For example, different bugs pollinate different types of plants.

You're currently in a part of the forest where you can examine different flowering plants. You'll need to write down what you see. You can't collect anything, so be as detailed as possible by drawing sketches or taking pictures.
