Phenology Project A UVM blog

Here is a map of my plot. Since coming here the first time, I’ve noticed that the leaves on the tree in my site have changed color from green to yellow. The non-woody plants have also started to die. Broken pieces of nuts in my site could indicate some animal activity in the area.

My site is a small outcrop of land next to a brook in Centennial Woods. To get to the site, follow the path at the entrance of the woods until you reach a four way intersection. Take the path in front of you, following it across several foot bridges. At the end of the last bridge, turn left. You will see a small piece of land jutting into the stream, with a medium sized tree next to it. This is my site. The plants most common around my site include honeysuckle, buckthorn, and barberry, in addition to several non-woody plants.
