Hal Scott Regional Preserve & Park, August 15, 2014

Hal Scott is west of SR 520, between SR 50 and SR 528. The entrance is on Dallas Blvd. This was my first visit to Hal Scott. I walked about 0.3 mile from the entrance and about 0.2 miles on the White Trail. I did not explore the pine woods adjacent to the main trail; consequently, most of what I saw were common roadside plants.
