Today I went on my last visit to my phenology spot in Centennial Woods for the year. The last documented visit that I had, there was still snow on the ground, so a lot has changed since then. The stream is no longer frozen, the minnows are back, and there is overall many more signs of active wildlife. Nature and culture are intertwine at my phenology place because it allows for people to be connected with nature. I do consider myself to be a part of my place because I have watched it change over time since last fall, which has made me feel extremely connected to it and it has given me a sense of place.
