My revisit to Centennial Woods took place during the transition from winter to spring. The cold 20–30-degree days of winter were behind us, are beginning to be replaced by warmer 40-degree days. Because of this, the snow on the ground has begun to melt, making the Centennial trails very muddy and slippery. Despite that, I still made my way to the tree, which didn’t seem to show any major changes.
When comparing the picture, I took of my tree in my first visit and the picture I took now, there doesn’t seem to be any noticeable differences. The bark still has the same color as last time, and there haven’t been any new twigs growing around the base. The only twigs and branches I could be very high on the tree.
Overall, my visit to Centennial was a bit slippery, but overall, my tree was the same as the last time I saw it. Hopefully as the weather gets warmer deeper into spring, I will see much more leaves and foliage growing on the paper birch I have chosen.
