I chose the Intervale Center as the location of my Phenology Site. To get here, I biked down Main St., turned down North Prospect St. then rode straight down Intervale Rd. until I got to the trail head for the walking paths. I walked straight down the path until I got to a clearing by the Winooski River, which is where I chose as my site. I chose this location because of its variety in natural components, as it is right on the shore of a river, as well as surrounded by a deciduous forest.
Around my site, I observed mostly Boxelder trees, as well as Silver Maple, and Cottonwood. The ground was heavily covered by vegetation consisting of poison ivy, rye, ground ivy, and wood nettles and grasses. Although my site is well into the forest, it is on the edge of a heavily-trafficked trail, so I am curious to see how human impact will affect it as the seasons change.
