Centennial woods has become a valued tool for teaching and learning about the natural world. It is a natural place that is easily accessible to all students but it is separate from the hustle and bustle of daily campus life. This phenolgy spot that started out as nothing more than an assignment for class became a place that was a much needed escape from the stress and tension found on campus. It is a place that feels so separated from campus that it allowed me to detach from the stress of classes and just enjoy the quiet calmness. It became a piece of me that I could use to ground myself when everything else became too overwhelming. Being able to imagine sitting on a fallen tree with my feet dangling above the water, hearing nothing but the running water, feeling completely calm was much needed at time when I couldn’t go out to the woods. This spot became a same spot where I could let go of everything and just relax.
