The spot I chose at home is a park by my house, called Wildwood Preserve. I chose a spot about 10 minutes from the entrance to the park, a little bit off the trail. I unfortunately completely forgot to get pictures for this spot, but I did illustrate some of the leaves of the trees in the park.

The white oaks there are a different kind to the ones here (if I had to guess, I think they’re Oregon White Oaks, brought over and planted to make the park). There’s also a ton of Sycamores in the park, and it’s Ohio so of course I have to include the Buckeyes.

The phenology in Ohio is fairy similar to the phenology here. A few more trees still have their leaves, but there’s nothing drastic. There’s been way less frost and no snow, though, so the shrubs and ferns are lasting a little longer than here.
