Changes Over Time Phenologically, my site changed significantly over the course of the school year. I got to watch as it shifted from full summer bloom, to beautiful fall colors, to leafless winter, and back to new growth of spring. It made me a bit emotional to go back to my site one last time […]

Exploring Greater Burlington For the BioBlitz (and a good time) my friends and I spent Saturday walking around Rock Point and North Beach Park.

Tracking Experience 🐾 For my tracking excursion, I went to Centennial Woods with my friend Allison!

Quiet Sit Experience 😌 I love coming to my spot to just sit and get away from the craziness of college living. I find myself here often, but this time I made sure to pay attention to the way I was feeling and purposefully experience my place. A lot of emotions came up during my […]

🌲🍂🍄 Introduction 🍄🍂🌲 For my phenology spot, I decided to chose a location a bit closer to home than most.
