A UVM blog Phenology Project

Phenology Intro

Welcome to my phenology blog!

My location is in Centennial Woods. As I took a nature walk one morning looking for the perfect phenology spot, I walked down the main path of Centennial Woods just across from the Burlington Police Station. I continued down the path past the biodiversity planting project, headed for the brook. I had a spot in mind from previous walks through Centennial, so I immediately knew where I wanted to do my phenology project. I walked about five minutes into the woods to get to my spot. I knew this was the perfect location as I observed the brook running smoothly by and the enormous Eastern White Pines arching over in the distance. I am interested to see how the brook changes over the seasons!

Woody Plants and Vegetation:

As I observed the natural area, I came across many species of woody plants and other vegetation! I found that there was mostly Northern Red Oaks, Red Maples, Eastern White Pines, Black Walnuts, Calico Asters, and Ironweeds. The full list of species found is listed below:

  • Black Walnut
  • Northern Red Oak
  • Black Raspberry
