Deep in Centennial Woods, past the stream, near the growing hut population (last week there was 1... now there are 3!) lies the Centennial woods log cross AKA my phenology spot. I chose this spot because of how close it was to campus, because my friends have spots along the stream, and because the logs provide an ideal spot to sit and do a nature grounding meditation. 
On my most recent visit, i realized that I wasn't the only one who liked the log cross. There was another -higher level- NR class studying the soil composition right by my spot. To avoid getting in their way, i decided to explore the greater area around the log cross, logging the trees and vegetation into iNaturalist. What kindof plant life is there at the log cross?
Trees
This trip I focused on logging the different birches, including paper and yellow birch. These are thin hardwood trees with peeled looking bark.

BIRCHES
Ground Cover
To make this simple, i once again foused on a specific type of plant. I saw lots of ferns, Im pretty sure there was a wood fern and a cinnamon fern, and iNaturalist is supporting this thought.
