Centennial Woods is an example of an urban wild., which is a natural ecosystem that is located in an urban area. Located near the UVM campus, Centennial Woods offers a place for students and Burlington residents to explore this area. Dozens of different species of flora and fauna call this place home. There is lots to explore in Centennial Woods, with many different paths to hike, a small brook running through it, and places just to sit and relax.
With all of this being said, Centennial Woods is also a great place to explore and study. Every time I have been there, I have discovered a new biological feature to study. Furthermore, the biological components of the woods change over the seasons, leading to potential interesting observations of what changes phenologically in Centennial Woods.
