This semester I decided to choose a new phenology spot because it has gotten too cold and the commute to Rock Point is no longer worth it because of that. My new phenology spot is a beautiful spot in Centennial Woods. To get there, first arrive at the Centennial Woods entrance across from the police station. Walk straight throughout the trail for about 15 minutes. You should be crossing over little bridges over little streams and arrive at an area filled with older Eastern Hemlock trees. This is my spot. I chose this spot because initially coming across it, as I trekked through Centennial, I was awestruck by the serenity and beauty of it.
I tried using my animal track guide field book, but I was unfortunately not able to identify the tracks. I thought they could possibly some kind of hare or some other small mammal. I had an amazing time exploring Centennial. It looked like an absolute winter wonderland and it was very much enjoyed! Until next time…
