Abstract
This paper aims to use photographs throughout several years to observe, examine, and make conclusions on changes occurring at different areas of the Bath Nature Preserve. Throughout the years 2013-2021, photographs have been captured at roughly the same angle at multiple locations in the preserve. These photographs will be placed into a time lapse video and examined to physically see how the environment is changing. Changes to the environment could be natural or as a result of outside factors. By examining these changes, it can be determined if alterations need to be made to help the environment thrive. Two specific spots will be looked at in the preserve from several angles. Elements like water level and appearance, plant life and quantity, and animal life can be observed throughout time with these photographs. By acknowledging any change occurring, it can be determined if any threats pose danger to the area or if any precocious measures need to be taken to ensure a high quality environment.
