This month I have decided to visit the other end of campus and observe the phenology in Centennial Woods Natural Area. Centennial Woods is an easy 15 minute walk from my dorm on Redstone campus. I exit my building to the right and I follow University Heights road, until I reach Main street. I cross the street and I continue on Carrigan Drive until reaching the trail head at Centennial Woods.
Here is a map of the location:
Centennial Woods was beautiful today, everything was covered in snow and there was a lot trail use. There was not a large amount of animal tracks that could be seen besides dog footprints, but there were a few other tracks that were seen. There was some snow melt which made it difficult to identify the tracks that could be seen. There did not seem to be a large amount of wildlife activity based on the few tracks that could be seen that were not dog tracks.
