I cannot believe that this is my final post!! Unfortunately, I left campus a bit early so I was not able to head back to centennial woods for a final check-in. Since I couldn’t talk about centennial, I decided to take a trip to a local natural area about 30 minutes from me. This week […]

city nature challenge

During the 2021 City Nature Challenge, I explored my phenology spot, Centennial Woods. Nothing particularly interesting happened on my visit, but it was nice to see the changes of spring present in the area. Over the past few weeks we’ve gotten tons of rain, so hopefully that manifests in bright green vegetation for the rest […]
april phenology

Spring has sprung here at Centennial Woods and I am excited to recap my findings from my April visits. My later visit occurred after the rain and snowfall this past week, so the ground ended up being slightly more muddy than it probably would be this April. Luckily, green is starting to return and is […]

On the freezing cold day of March 5th, I headed down to the waterfront to observe the phenological changes of the area. One thing that made this day stand out was the hotter weather and rain earlier in the week. This had caused a large amount of the snow to melt, so spotting tracks was […]
new phenology spot!

This semester I decided to switch things up and try out a new phenology spot. The new spot I chose was in Centennial Woods. To reach my spot, I crossed campus and traveled to the Centennial Woods trail head behind the medical center. In the woods I walked for about 15-20 minutes straight on the […]

To research the human history of Crescent Woods, I looked at the land-use history of Englesby Brook, which runs through the center of the natural area. It seems like this area had not been used for much other than urban and suburban development over the years. Several culverts of the brook reveal that there are […]
hometown phenology place

The location I have chosen for my home phenology comparison is a spot of land inside Mine Falls Park of my hometown Nashua, NH. I have visited this site several times for recreational purposes, but it is so different to look at it in this new phenological perspective. Most of the land is made up […]
event map!

On the fourth trip to the site, fall has finally come to an end. Most deciduous trees were barren, and the trees that weren’t naked bore brown and dead yellow leaves. Unfortunately on the event map, there was quite a bit of human influence, but it does make sense as the site is so close […]

During the third visit to the site, not much had changed. The biggest change was in the colors of the foliage. Leaves on the deciduous trees are beginning to turn from bright green to yellows and browns. No obvious signs of animal habitats, but there are several notches in the bases of the larger trees […]

Today I visited the lovely Crescent Woods for the first time :). Before I get into explaining the vegetation, I’ll detail a bit about the trip there. The Journey To briefly explain how I got there; I walked around the back of the redstone apartments, walked down past the country club, and then through a […]
