My phenology site is in the middle of Centennial Woods, in an area where an almost completely dried up brook runs through the forest. Centennial woods is only about a five minute walk from UVM’s Central Campus, so I chose this area because it is easy to get to and it provides a refuge from the stress of daily life on campus. In just a few minutes, you can walk from the busy roads near campus to these completely secluded woods. To get to the specific area of the woods that I chose, you have to walk through the woods for a few minutes. Once you get past a slightly steep incline on the trail, the area that I chose is to the right. The area spans either side of the brook, and there is a slight decline on the path to get to the other side. The area is heavily concentrated with mature trees, and some parts of the understory are covered.
On either side of the brook, there are many hardwood trees. On the left side, there is a more concentrated amount of coniferous trees as well. The understory has some ferns and other smaller, woody plants. The hardwood trees in the area are mostly maple and beech trees, while the side of the area that has more coniferous trees consists of hemlocks and eastern white pines. The understory mainly consists of wood ferns.
