I chose my Grandma’s backyard as my Thanksgiving phenology spot. She live on a mountain in Bennington surrounded by the trees. I saw many species including Red Maple, Paper Birches, American Beech. There was at least an inch or two of snow on the ground, so it was hard to look for species which live on the floor. However, the high amount of leaf litter was very clear to see. The species and patterns are not very similar to my phenology, where my was more spacious and filled with pine needles on the ground, this spot had trees closer together and not as much coniferous trees.
