Thanksgiving Phenology Spot!
Over this Thanksgiving break, my assignment for my phenology blog was to find a new spot, take some photos, and leave a gift. The place I went to with my friend was called the Assabet River National Wildlife Refuge. While there, I went on a hike. On the hike, I did not take many photos because I wanted to take the whole scenery without needing to feel attached to my phone, but I did take one shot. The picture I took was overlooking the water. While waking, the wildlife refuge had abandoned army storage barracks used to store ammunition during the war.
When comparing my phenology spot in Burlington to the Assabet River National Wildlife Refuge spot, there were a lot of similar trees, mainly consisting of Eastern White Pine, Northern Red Oak, and some Green Ash. Another was the area where both had some form of water feature, such as a pond or a little stream that passed through the land. Unfortunately, I did not bring anything to leave as a gift to my new spot.
