Fear to Hope Atlantic White Cedar Research at Plymouth South H.S.

AP Biology students' Field trip to the Atlantic White Cedar Swamp October 2023

In October 2023, my AP Biology students took a Field trip to the Atlantic White Cedar (AWC) Swamp in Eastham, MA. It was magical for all to experience an old growth/mature AWC swamp.
