My phenology spot is in Centennial Woods, by the brook. This area is a small clearing in the woods, where there is a dirt path and a small bridge that runs across the brook. On one side of the bridge there is what is almost like an island that has been eroded by the brook over time. It’s an area that can be seen as almost picturesque, and most people who enjoy hiking and the outdoors would walk by. It’s in an area that’s protected by the University, but occasionally if it rained enough, dishes and eating utensils can be found in the brook. Seeing this, I thought about how interesting it is that a protected area can be littered with these kinds of things and never be picked up.
