Welcome to my phenology plot blog. My plot is located in Centennial Woods in a Pine Stand that is along Centennial Brook.

To locate my site start at the entrance to Centennial Woods off Catamount Drive. Follow the trail until you hit a fork at a hard wood stand with a few large White Pine trees. Take a left at that site and keep going for a while until you hit another opening. Stay straight and pass a Paper birch on your left and walk onto the board walk. You will pass over Centennial Brook and then move back onto a dirt trail that leads up to a small clearing with a Northern White Cedar on your left. Continue onto a trail that takes a slight right and goes down a hill. Centennial Brook should be directly to your left. Keep walking till you hit a stand of large White Pine Trees. There is a little understory of ferns and pine needles all over the ground. The center of my site it up and to the right from the trail with the brook on your left. I mark the midpoint of my site with a large fallen tree covered in moss, up the hill from the trail.

You have now found my site!

As you can tell, there is a little understory in this plot yet the over story is thick, allowing a muted light to peek though the pine needles. The ground cover is thin but consists mostly of ferns an a few varieties of herbaceous plants. The majority of the trees there are White Pines with a few small American Beech trees and Northern White Cedar.
