Spring is finally on its way, and I’m beginning to see the changes it brings in Centennial Woods. The ferns have started to pop up around the leaf litter. The rest of the forest floor is coated with dead leaves, twigs/branches, and mud. The soil seems to be eroding from recent flooding, and the mud was thick and heavy. I also was able to hear the downwards stream (Centennial Brook) from my site. I didn’t notice any budding, but younger Eastern Hemlocks seemed to be growing, filling out the rest of the landscape. I also noticed how active the birds were becoming in my site, as I heard Black Capped Chickadees and European Starlings.
