Hello NR1!

My Phenology Assignment, 

For my phenology assignment, I chose a spot in the centennial woods that I liked from our first lab there. I chose this place because I found it calming as well as very interesting. I love the vegetation and trees in this area. It will be very interesting to see how this area transforms through the season and what changes will occur to it.

The Location in Centennial Woods

In this area, there are sugar maples, Canadian weed grass, paper birch, Eastern white pine, and dogwood. I think the small hill behind this area and the brook running right alongside the area I choose to make for a unique and strong ecosystem. I already can not wait to go back!

Sitting down in the middle of my site was very calming. It was relaxing to hear the birds and other animals around me while I drew the birds-eye view of my site. This was definitely one of the highlights of my day and will stick with me for the rest of the day. Some change I noticed from the last time I was there was that almost all the leaves from the deciduous trees were gone. They were either already on the ground or there was only a handful left on the tree.
