Contrast:

The largest difference between Centennial Woods would be the fact that my backyard has large rocks left from glaciers, and that unlike Centennials Woods, there is no brook. My backyard is not heavily used by people except for the occasions when my family goes down to under the deck to the large composting bin that we have. Centennial Woods on the other hand, is used almost every single day by people for phenology, hiking, taking a run or walk in the woods etc. As well, my backyard has different species like tiger lilies, raspberry bushes in certain areas and multiple other plants that generally are never seen in forests in Vermont.

Another difference is the angle of my backyard being so elevated and dropping down unlike Centennial Woods which has a more flat area.

Comparisons:

Some comparisons between the two areas would be the different ways both areas are or have been heavily used.

When I had been younger, my brother and I would play on these rocks and use certain pathways to get to my neighbors yard and like Centennial Woods, have certain places that are eroded, and have areas that would have no grass anywhere because that certain area was used so much.
