For my phenology site in Burlington, I chose a spot in Centennial Woods, and for my home phenology site I chose a fairly similar area in a nearby, wooded park. The first thing that I noticed about my home phenology site is that the forest floor is covered pretty densely in bushes, unlike my site in Burlington which had almost no plants on the forest floor. My home site also does not have any waterways going through it, while my Burlington site had some small streams running through it. One thing my sites have in common is that the largest trees are a mix of oak and American beech, which I thought was interesting. I wasn’t able to accurately identify all of the plants at my home site because all of the leaves have fallen off of them, but I believe a lot of the trees are the same as at my Burlington site.
