Hi 🙂 for the new semester, I will be continuing to blog phenology in the same location in Centennial Woods! During my most recent visit, there is more ice and snow covering the ground and bridge. There are also a few fallen leaves and pine needles from the Eastern White Pines and Maple Trees.
There were lots of pine cones and fallen trees covering the trail, as well as dead organic matter. The ferns were mostly covered by the snow and ice. There were also some Norway Maple leaves on the snow, but not a lot.
I found some fungus on the fallen trees a little past my phenology spot, which looked cool. There was also lots of moss on the trees
Unfortunately I was not able to find any animal tracks and most of the smaller plants and shrubs in the meadow or below the trees are dead or frozen.
