A UVM blog Phenology

October 16, 2021

My phenology spot is at Lone Rock Point. Today, I followed the trails and hiked through the forest to get to the thrust fault down by the water. It was 74 degrees and cloudy with some rain. I chose this spot because after visiting it for our lab, I thought it was really cool and couldn’t wait to go back. It’s such an interesting natural community and I think it will be fun to watch it change throughout the seasons.

The main tree species at this spot is the Northern white cedar. There were also some sugar maples, American beeches, and buckthorn. I ran into a little garter snake as well!
