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!

Vermont's spring flowers











On the Allen Brook Nature Trail you can find star flowers, trilliums, and trout lilies. A Trillium flower looks like a red and white star with six points. A trout lily looks like it leans over, and it’s yellow and brown. It also looks like a bell. You can also find red clovers. You all know what those look like! These flowers grow in the Northern Hardwood Forest part of the trail because the sun can get through the trees better. You can find most of the flowers in the spring. In addition to these flowers you can find a lot more on the Nature Trail! Please visit the Allen Brook Nature Trail to see the beautiful flowers! Bring a camera!
