This experience was very interesting to see what was on campus and see the amount of diversity that exists in the small area of the UVM campus. I encountered around 24 species during my exploration.

Phenology Assignment #6
Connor Salo My site has not changed very significantly over time from storms or humans. The trail still seems the same since I first came to my phenology site in the winter.

Most of the trees in my phenology site lacked the leaves they had at the beginning of my phenology project. All of the woody plants lost their leaves and the area is primarily brown and dead looking. There were, however, a few ferns and green patches of plants but they were few and far between. …
My home phenology site
