Picture 1 » Producer, Grasses ►This picture shows the densities along with where the grasses are situated. Almost like a marsh where the grass does indeed go into the pond

Picture 2 » Producer, Algae ► This picture shows the density of the algae more towards the shore but as the pond gets deeper the light is unable to penetrate the lower areas of the pong and algae is unable to grow.
Picture 3 » Pathway ► This is a picture of the path way of part of our group took to get to the South Slope.
Picture 4 » Embankment ► This picture shows the large embankment on the South Slope, mainly covered with thick brush such as thistles.
Picture 5 » Algae in Pond ► This pictures shows the large density of the algae in the pond, of course it is more dense nearer the shore where more light penetrates the bottom of the pond so algal growth can occur as well as photosynthesis
Picture 6 » Thistle ► in this picture we can see a good representation of the various thistle plants that littered Nose Hill park. Unfortunately a measurement was not taken, and I will estimate the approximate height. I believe that the plant is between 2-3 ft high with the branches sticking out only a few inches (between 2-4).
