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!

Pine Trees

Pine trees have many needles in one bundle. On a white pine there are five needles in one bundle. That’s kind of funny because in the word white there are five letters. Red pines have only two needles in their bundles, but in the word red there are three letters. That’s how you tell the difference from a white pine and a red pine. Pine Trees also keep there needles all year long. On the Allen Brook Nature trail there are three types of Pine trees: white pine, hemlock and red pine. Mostly all of the pine trees are in the white pine and hemlock forest. It is the third section of the nature trail. Pine trees have a lot of cool features because they keep their needles all year. So if you want to see it then visit the Allen Brook Nature trail in Williston Vermont in the U.S.A.
