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!

Shallow Emergent Wetlands








A shallow emergent wetland is a river that can support wildlife inside the water. Trees can even grow in there! A wetland will have animals and fish like minnows, mudpuppies, and salamanders. Some salamanders like the mudpuppies that live in the river are hard to spot. Fish from the lakes are not found in the shallow emergent wetlands. The wetlands found in the Allen Brook Nature trail in Williston Vermont, has a Beaver dam and lodge in it.
