For my new phenology spot, I chose an area of similar geographical features as my one in Burlington.\u00a0 My new spot lies just off the path of a hiking trail about a mile from my house in North Andover, Massachusetts in what\u2019s known as the Osgood Hill trail network on the grounds of the old Stevens Estate.\u00a0 Similarly to my spot in Centennial Woods, this new spot features a small brook traveling through the forest before emptying into a larger flat and shallow wetland area.\u00a0 The stream in Massachusetts is not as wide as the one in Centennial Woods, but the tree species on either side of the stream are largely the same in both places.\u00a0 The one difference I noted was there is a patch of Red Pines along part of the stream.\u00a0 I kept an eye out for more Red Pines as I continued the rest of my hike, but did not see any others besides the patch by the stream.\u00a0 All of the six-or-so trees are about the same age and stand closely together, so I am curious as to how they got there and whether it was natural, or if someone planted them there purposely.\u00a0 I also noticed the human interferences in both areas.\u00a0 In Centennial Woods, human disturbances include noise pollution from the airport and walkers, litter I find on occasion, and the chunk of boardwalk that washed up in Centennial Brook in my spot.\u00a0 At the Stevens Estate, there is noise from the nearby road, airport, and other hikers.\u00a0 Also, I found some oil in the stream, which likely came from runoff from the road.<\/p>\n
