Welcome to my phenology blog! The place that I will be visiting throughout the rest of the year is located along a small brook adjacent to one of the many trails in Centennial Woods. In the panorama above, you can see the trail, various different types of vegetation, the brook, and a small clearing behind the forested area surrounding the water. I am very excited to observe this spot because it is at the intersection of many different natural habitats that will be changing drastically with the seasons. My spot is also very interesting to me because of its proximity to human impact. Below, I have included a photo of a teepee set up next to the trail adjacent to the brook. Not only is this a good marker of my phenology place but it also is evidence of the human ties to the habitat of Centennial Woods. I am looking forward to documenting my ecological and social observations of this place on this blog!
