October 14 – Phenology Entry #1

My phenology spot is right by the creek in Centennial Woods. Once you reach the pine clearing, you take the fork in the middle that is slightly hidden and go toward the creek and marsh area. About 100 feet down the path, veer off to the left down the hill and you’ll end up in kind of a ditch. The creek runs right through here and forks in a couple places. You can see sandy deposits above the water level from where it has flooded in the past and the sandy, pebbly bottom of the stream.
The vegetation is strong along the banks of the creek. The floor consists of small herbaceous plants, seedlings, and shrubs. There are a few trees in the overstory in my spot, but there are a good number in the understory. I noticed a lot of similar shrubs in clumps along the bank.
