My Neighborhood

My Neighborhood

My neighborhood, which is located in Bonita Springs Florida, is a developing community so it still has some aspects of nature that have not been built on. As I walked around my neighborhood I noticed that the amount of building of homes to meet human needs far outweighed the amount of wildlife that was preserved. Although many housed had a great deal of landscaping that included live oak, queen palm trees, and juniper shrubs, this didn’t account for the amount of plant life that was lost in the building of their homes. However I also discovered the in some areas which were not developed, plants such as the invasive species melaleuca, grew in great numbers. Although there was little animal life to be seen, I spotted a brown anole just outside my front door.
