My Site
The Eastern Pine section of Centennial Park is a quiet and calming section of the Centennial trail. To reach my spot, follow the start of the trail past the bridge over the stream, continue up to the pine section and continue about 10 yards straight into the trees. This spot is full of evergreens and has a soothing and calming pine smell to it. It is a fantastic place to journal, do your homework, or just relax.
This image a direct upwards view of my phenology spot. My spot has a fantastic ratio of overstory coverage to open sky. When I visited my spot for the first time, the sun was beginning to set and it made for a fantastic view. The majority of the trees in my section are Eastern White Pine, Eastern Hemlock, Northern White Cedar, and some Oak Species.
