Coming back to my hometown of Thetford Center, Vermont, I honestly didn’t think I would see many phenological or ecological changes. When I went to my spot it didn’t even look like there were any differences, I could only see the similarities in the two areas. It wasn’t until I took a closer look that I was able to make some comparisons. One thing I noticed was the amount of snow Centennial Woods had compared to the woods in my woodland area. When I arrived back to campus and visited my spot I was surprised how much more snow was up here compared to home. Probably due to the elevation and latitude of the two areas being different. Another thing I noticed was the amount of animal activity I found in my area. Multiple tracks and drops indicated a variety of animals. Some of the species included coyote, white tailed deer, chipmunk, grey squirrel, blue jay, and raven. There seemed to be more biodiversity in the area; probably because of the amount of people interacting with Centennial Woods. This can result in specieses wanting to move out of their habitat, and make them migrate somewhere else. This can also negatively impact the environment due to it throwing off natural processes that could normally be found in the area.
