I returned to my phenology spot yesterday to get a more in-depth understanding of the surroundings. When I previously visited, my main goal was to find a good spot with a great central tree. I then looked at a few surrounding trees in close proximity to my central tree. For this visit, I focused on the species of all of the trees and woody plants in a large surrounding area. I found 7 different tree species in my area. There were:
- 16 Eastern Hemlocks
- 9 Eastern White Pines
- 3 Red Maples
- 2 Sugar Maples
- 2 Northern Red Oak
- 1 White Oak
- 1 Yellow Birch
