Although Salmon Hole was quiet interesting, I just couldn&#8217;t connect with it. I didn&#8217;t feel like I was in nature there, as I could still see buildings all around me. I had trouble traveling to this place and would only spent a few minutes there when I went. Centennial woods, however, has everything I was looking for. I can escape there between classes; it is easily accessible. I can walk for only a few minutes and be in the middle of a forest, despite being so close to campus. I love the variety of trees and plants, plus the little streams you can find as you walk. With all this said, I&#8217;m very excited to explore my new phenology spot!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"550\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"42\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/bdittman\/files\/2023\/01\/IMG_3670-550x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-42\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/bdittman\/files\/2023\/01\/IMG_3670-550x1024.jpg 550w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/bdittman\/files\/2023\/01\/IMG_3670-161x300.jpg 161w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/bdittman\/files\/2023\/01\/IMG_3670-768x1430.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/bdittman\/files\/2023\/01\/IMG_3670-825x1536.jpg 825w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/bdittman\/files\/2023\/01\/IMG_3670-1100x2048.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/bdittman\/files\/2023\/01\/IMG_3670.jpg 1186w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">the path<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"550\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"40\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/bdittman\/files\/2023\/01\/IMG_3666-550x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-40\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/bdittman\/files\/2023\/01\/IMG_3666-550x1024.jpg 550w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/bdittman\/files\/2023\/01\/IMG_3666-161x300.jpg 161w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/bdittman\/files\/2023\/01\/IMG_3666-768x1430.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/bdittman\/files\/2023\/01\/IMG_3666-825x1536.jpg 825w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/bdittman\/files\/2023\/01\/IMG_3666-1100x2048.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/bdittman\/files\/2023\/01\/IMG_3666.jpg 1186w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">the water<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"550\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"44\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/bdittman\/files\/2023\/01\/IMG_3671-550x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-44\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/bdittman\/files\/2023\/01\/IMG_3671-550x1024.jpg 550w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/bdittman\/files\/2023\/01\/IMG_3671-161x300.jpg 161w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/bdittman\/files\/2023\/01\/IMG_3671-768x1430.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/bdittman\/files\/2023\/01\/IMG_3671-825x1536.jpg 825w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/bdittman\/files\/2023\/01\/IMG_3671-1100x2048.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/bdittman\/files\/2023\/01\/IMG_3671.jpg 1186w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">the trail<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>I unfortunately did not see any specific animal tracks near my spot. The path leading to the creek was packed in snow from others walking on it (there was even a small snowman built). The water was running over the rocks at a steady pace, despite the piles of snow next to it. There were no leaves in site, except some evergreen needles. Overall the woods seemed pretty calm with no new snow falling or animals in site<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To get to this spot, enter the woods through the catamount parking lot (behind the doubletree). Turn onto the main path and keep walking until the path splits into two. At this split, turn right and go towards the creek.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"740\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/bdittman\/files\/2023\/01\/IMG_3673-740x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-47\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/bdittman\/files\/2023\/01\/IMG_3673-740x1024.jpg 740w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/bdittman\/files\/2023\/01\/IMG_3673-217x300.jpg 217w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/bdittman\/files\/2023\/01\/IMG_3673-768x1063.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/bdittman\/files\/2023\/01\/IMG_3673.jpg 897w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">map of my phenology spot<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For this upcoming semester, I decided to change my phenology spot.
