Alpine Plants

As many of you know, my love of the outdoors brings me to the top of Mount Mansfield for a few days each summer where I am a volunteer caretaker for the Green Mountain Club, supporting their efforts to keep people on the rocks and off the fragile alpine tundra that grows above tree line.

This past weekend Sophie, Sammi, Brianna and Daphnee came up to visit (along with Ashley, Nick, Melanie and Gilbert), and got a short lesson in mountain ecology.
