During my final trip to my phenology spot in Centennial Woods, I brought along a fee on my friends who aren’t in Rubenstein, and a few of them have never been to Centennial begore and they really enjoyed it. I think nature and culture intertwine in a variety of ways at my spot, most notably being the bridge that goes over the little creek. Humans were able to adapt to the environment and use our resources to create a more accessible path through the woods. As people find routines and resources that make life easier, it’s typical that we transfer those finding to the natural world in order to explore more and be able to get closer to nature. I mos definitely consider myself a part of my place, since I have impacts on the land there and the land has an impact on me. Even after just a short trip to my spot, I always leave feeling refreshed and much more calm and happy than when I arrived, and upon the conclusion of this blog, I’m most definitely going to return to my spot frequently and continue to monitor any changes. I’m excited to see how the area around my spot will evolve over the years that I’m in Burlington and I’m eager to find other ways that I can help to protect this extremely important natural area.
