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!

Cherry Trees




Black cherry trees have bark that looks like burnt potato chips. Pin cherry trees are a lot smaller and are only about as big around as a tennis ball. On the Allen brook trail as soon as you get on the trail there is a sign nailed to a tree that says pin cherry. The sign is actually wrong. The tree it is nailed to is really a black cherrytree.For more information on cherry trees please visit http://treegrowersdiary.com/blackcherry.html
