I chose this location because Centennial Woods has a wide range of plant and animal species native to Vermont. I first visited Centennial Woods during my first NR1010 Lab and I had a lot of fun walking around and observing all the vegetation and animals there. Centennial Woods is a place that I am very interested in and would like to gain more knowledge about. Centennial Woods is also a great place for hiking and taking a walk in nature and it is very accessible to everyone, even those who do not have a bike or car.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-content-justification-center is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-94bc23d7 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"912\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/kkendra\/files\/2023\/10\/phenology-extra-2-912x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-34\" style=\"width:207px;height:232px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/kkendra\/files\/2023\/10\/phenology-extra-2-912x1024.jpg 912w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/kkendra\/files\/2023\/10\/phenology-extra-2-267x300.jpg 267w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/kkendra\/files\/2023\/10\/phenology-extra-2-768x862.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/kkendra\/files\/2023\/10\/phenology-extra-2.jpg 1124w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"769\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/kkendra\/files\/2023\/10\/phenology-extra-3-769x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-35\" style=\"width:173px;height:231px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/kkendra\/files\/2023\/10\/phenology-extra-3-769x1024.jpg 769w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/kkendra\/files\/2023\/10\/phenology-extra-3-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/kkendra\/files\/2023\/10\/phenology-extra-3-768x1023.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/kkendra\/files\/2023\/10\/phenology-extra-3.jpg 1125w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"776\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/kkendra\/files\/2023\/10\/IMG_9808-776x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-37\" style=\"width:175px;height:231px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/kkendra\/files\/2023\/10\/IMG_9808-776x1024.jpg 776w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/kkendra\/files\/2023\/10\/IMG_9808-227x300.jpg 227w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/kkendra\/files\/2023\/10\/IMG_9808-768x1014.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/kkendra\/files\/2023\/10\/IMG_9808.jpg 1125w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"774\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/kkendra\/files\/2023\/10\/phenology-extra-774x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-33\" style=\"width:172px;height:228px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/kkendra\/files\/2023\/10\/phenology-extra-774x1024.jpg 774w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/kkendra\/files\/2023\/10\/phenology-extra-227x300.jpg 227w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/kkendra\/files\/2023\/10\/phenology-extra-768x1016.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/kkendra\/files\/2023\/10\/phenology-extra.jpg 1125w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Location<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"937\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/kkendra\/files\/2023\/10\/phenology-location-2-937x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41\" style=\"aspect-ratio:0.9150390625;width:299px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/kkendra\/files\/2023\/10\/phenology-location-2-937x1024.jpg 937w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/kkendra\/files\/2023\/10\/phenology-location-2-275x300.jpg 275w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/kkendra\/files\/2023\/10\/phenology-location-2-768x839.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/kkendra\/files\/2023\/10\/phenology-location-2.jpg 1125w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-cyan-bluish-gray-background-color has-background\">To get to my spot in Centennial Woods you have to start at the trailhead where there will be a big green sign. Then make your way to a large opening where there is a sign that says \u201cpoison ivy,\u201d here there is a split in the trail so keep right. Keep following the trial past the bridges going over the stream and eventually there will be a second large opening. My spot is right before this opening and you will know you are there if there are lots of ferns on one side of the trail and a red maple tree on the other side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
