Cultural geography! means geography! that has to do with people. Some things at Cardigan mountain that are cultural geography! are the solar panels on the field next to the AMC Cardigan Lodge which is also cultural geography!. The campsites, steps, bridges, planking, trails and trail markers are all part of cultural geography! Even some trees are cultural geography! they migrate.. The scottish pine and the apple tree are some of these trees that you can find around Cardigan. Apple trees came from Asia then they moved to England before they finally came to America.`

Physical geography! means geography! that happens on its own. Things that happen without the help of humans. Monarch butterflies that we see during summer migrate down south in the fall. Birds migrate too in their v formation. The mountains surrounding Cardigan include rocks, forest animals, moss, and streams that came on their own, nobody dug the streams, nobody put the animals or rocks there. People know that the flying creatures migrate down south because they can’t handle the northern winters, but nobody knows how they know to go down south. These are just some of the things you can see at Cardigan Mountain. Trees are also physical geography!, there are white pine, hemlock, maple, beech, and birch. So many things that you don’t even think about being a form of geography! Even the beautiful sun is physical geography!
