Welcome!

The 3rd and 4th grade students of Journey House spent the 2007-2008 school year learning about the Allen Brook Nature Trail located behind our school. We hiked the trail at least once every month. We hope you enjoy viewing our photos and reading about the trail!

Maple Trees


Can you tell the difference between red maple trees and sugar maple trees? If you don’t know then we can tell you! In the summer you can tell the difference between the trees by the shape of their leaves. Red maple tree leaves have jagged edges and Sugar maple tree leaves have smooth edges!
In the fall red maple trees have red leaves, and sugar maple trees have yellow leaves. Also, you can only get maple sugar from the sugar maple tree!! That is how you can tell the difference between both Maple trees!!
You can go to: http://maple-trees.com/ to learn more about these trees.
