If you were to walk about eight minutes into Centennial Woods, you would come across your first wooden bridge, walk a few yards down the bridge to where it crosses the stream, and there sits my phenology spot. I sat at this spot a few weeks ago during our Centennial Woods lab and I felt drawn to it. This place is a home to many different species, but I chose it because I thought it would be interesting to watch the changes between both the greenery and the stream.
Surrounding the board walk in either direction, there is the stream and many different bushes and shrubs. There are many surrounding trees in what is mostly an open marshy area on the outskirts of the woods. It is mostly low lying bushy vegetation. It is peak fall, and there are many leaves of different colors on the ground, and some trees are already completely bare.
Here are some woody species you can find in my place:
