Pittsford, Vt. Phenology Spot

Friday, November 25th, 2022

The phenology spot I chose for this assignment is my Grandparent’s backyard in Pittsford, Vermont. The ecology of their backyard was similar, but not completely alike to that of my usual spot. The trees made up the overstory and varied in species, from Sugar maples, to Red Maples, to White Oaks. All of the trees are fairly young as they began to grow in around the 90s and 2000s. There was a decent amount of shrubbery and understory as well, including Knotweed, Buckthorn, Milkweed, Clovers, and Grass. This spot has always been very special to me as I spent a lot of time here growing up. I have watched the ecology and phenology of this spot change and grow as I have changed and grown with it.
