My phenology spot is in my town forest. I take my dog walking here often because it is so close to my home. Similar to my phenology spot, the way I get there is through hidden trails in neighborhoods.
In my spot, there are a lot of fallen leaves all over the trail. There is also some rock fences. There is some fallen trees and branches. The forest topography is hilly and decently rocky. My phenology spot in Burlington also has exposed rock similar to here, but the rocks are clearly different. The red rock at the Redstone quarry is not covered in leaves and is more exposed and the center of the spot.
The rocks at the forest seem to be pilled here in a purposeful way and are covered with leaves and not the center focus of the forest. The trees are also more abundant in the forest. There are newly growing pine trees, lots of oak trees as I can tell by the numerous leaves on the ground.
The trail is a hidden beauty in my town and I did not come across it till Covid. It is a well maintained trail, with bridges, maps and hidden things to find, like an old car or ruins of a home. The trail has altered the woods from the people and animal that walk through it.
