I noticed on our walk that the vegetation in Massachusetts looks different from what my phenology location in Burlington looks like. For example, there are a lot of rhododendrons here which we are less likely to see up north in Vermont because they prefer mild temperatures and a damp climate.

Another difference between this area and Centennial woods is the amount of marshlands and small pools of water in the wooded areas.

Natural History of the area

Like many areas in New England, these stone walls can be spotted. These walls are remnants of old farms that used to be here. Throughout our walk we spotted many rock walls like these.
