Joralemon Woods
NYFA/Friday Botany Field Trip to Joralemon Woods
Date: 14 June 2003
Place: Joralemon Woods, Town of Coeymans, Albany County
Trip Summary (submitted by Troy Weldy): Despite the drizzle and biting insects, fourteen people explored the woods of Joralemon Park, Town of Coeymans. We started the day by botanizing the trails north and west of the tennis courts up to the infamous large rock outcrop. After lunch, we continued our survey to areas east of the park pavilion. Natural community types included maple-basswood mesic forest and silver maple-ash swamp. The trip highlight for me was seeing green dragon (Arisaema dracontium), but we also encountered other interesting or rare species including green violet (Hybanthus concolor). We recorded a total of 160 vascular plant species, along with a few fungi and non-vascular plants.
