Sadly, I was unable to visit my phenology site for a final time this week because I went home a bit earlier than expected. But, here in my hometown of Marshfield, MA spring is in fully effect with beautiful weather and greenery all around. Not being able to see my phenology site in Burlington, I …

City Nature Challenge (May 3rd)
The city nature challenge was quite fun actually. I did not participate in it as much as some of the other kids in our class (for those in it you know who im talking about), but it was still a great experience. It was one of my first times actually using iNaturalist and going through …
Springtime In Burlington
Spring has sprung in Burlington and the greenery is coming back. My new spot, the little walking trail in between the golf course and Redstone campus, is going back to what I originally remember it as. When I visited it over the winter, the true beauty I remember it having was lost as all the …
Changing Phenology in Burlington
Walking through Burlington was very nice today, with the sun shining high in the sky and little wind, making it out to feel much warmer than usual. I felt that besides weather wise, the phenology was relatively similar to two weeks ago, the last time I went out actively observing and recording. Being so sunny …
Another Semester of Phenology Sites!
Given spring semester, though sounding warm and pretty, is very cold, I decided to move my phenology site from Rock Point to a much closer one. Immediately upon arrival at UVM last weekend, I walked over to the golf course to go sledding with some friends. To get there I leave my dorm building, take …

Before this though in the 1800’s, Walton Hall, the owner of the land and the Webster estate, used it for his dairy cattle …

The Daniel Webster Wildlife Sanctuary, owned by the Massachusetts Audubon Society, consists of miles of trails traversing woodlands, wetlands, and grasslands. A common site for photographers and …
Event Map and Site Visit Update
It was great to walk through my phenology site, or Rock Point, with the great weather we’ve been having the last few days. It was a weird feeling though, walking through the woods with all their leaves on the ground yet its over 60 degrees and sunny out. Closer to the water, the prominent cedars …
A Quick Visit Update and Map of Phenology Spot
Today I went back to rock point to my sit spot and was very pleased with my visit. Lots of leaves falling but they trees still had plenty of color on them. The understory and vegetation were not highly populated, with mostly some maple and birch saplings. It’s my favorite time of the year right …

My Phenology Spot
When assigned to find a peaceful, natural area, and observe it as the season changes, I chose my favorite place in Burlington, Rock Point. After attending a brief lab there, I went back a few times to have lunch and enjoy some time to myself. I would walk by the waterfront and skate park until …
