Hello, all! I am excited to share that I will be venturing to Centennial Woods once again this semester as my location for my Phenology research!
To recap:
Centennial Woods is a nature preserve located down the road from the UVM Police Station on Catamount Drive coming from Carrigan Drive in Burlington, VT.
I was able to capture a few images on my adventure back to Centennial Woods that I felt showed the true nature of January in Vermont.
It is clear to see that there is quite a bit of wildlife activity incorporated within Centennial Woods in the coldest month of the year which goes to show how fascinating nature in Vermont Winters truly can be!
Last time I visited the scenery was quite different as it was much warmer (as in 30F compared to 0F) and the Fall was coming to an end. Now, in the heat of winter – no pun intended – the frigid winds and frozen snow banks make for a much more different Centennial Woods.
Last semester I was able to watch the forest become dormant as it lost its liveliness and now I wait here for the birds to chirp again and for the plants to rebirth in Centennial Woods.
