Phenology Blog

I chose a secluded trail in Sunny Hollow Natural are as my phenological place. To get there you start off Hercules Drive and walk along the gravel path that leads to the trailhead. Here you will take a left towards the Blueberry Loop. From here stay right towards the Ring Finger trail. At the intersection follow the blue arrow that says ring finger. Now keep following the blue arrows until you can see a wooden bridge down the way. I picked this spot because of the variation in undercover species as well as the prevalence of some common tree species. The most abundant species of vegetation included Common Polypody, Honeysuckle, and Oak Fern. The most abundant woody plant species included Eastern Hemlock, Red Maple, Box Elder, American Beech, Northern Red Oak, Red Maple, and White Oak.
