Centennial Woods: Final Thoughts<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

On May 1st, I returned to my phenology spot in Centennial Woods for the final time, to find it looking exactly as I remember but with signs of rebirth. The site holds onto the vestiges of dormancy from the winter, but with the beginnings of spring in leaf buds, wildflowers, and flowing water. Throughout the year, I have become particularly fond of observing the evolution of the brook and the path it follows throughout Centennial Woods. It is the major landmark that ties my whole spot together. Some other minor landmarks I used to orient myself are the cluster of pines to the West and a patch of Green Ash to the East, just across the brook. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thinking about the relationship between humans and nature, I have come to view Centennial Woods as a biodiverse gem in the center of Burlington. This space provides solace and recreation for the community while also providing research and learning opportunities for students at UVM. I consider myself a part of this place because it is an environment where I feel comfortable and at peace. To be a part of a place, I feel it is important to understand everything that lives and grows there from the ground up. My time spent on this project has truly immersed me in knowledge of the growth and evolution of a forest throughout the seasons, providing me with massive appreciation for the struggle to survive in such a challenging environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
