My phenological site has changed over time. I’ve seen the leaves on the trees change color, fall, and start to blossom again. It’s amazing to look at the same tree over many months and see its leaves life cycles. I never noticed a huge human-caused change. A major landmark I have become familiar with is the stream that flows through Centennial right past my spot. Nature and culture intertwine here, I’ve seen people walking their dogs through my spot, classes hiking past, and leisure walks. This forest is a staple for UVM students as well as Burlington residents. I would consider myself a part of my place because I frequently visit it and spend time with the wildlife.
