I chose the first visible spot of Centennial Brook as my spot for my phenology project. If you take a left at the first fork in the trail entering Centennial Woods, it’s only a little ways away past that. There are not too many woody species in the area besides a Norway maple and a few buckthorns. The area is mostly dominated by reedy plants such as the common European reed, and grassy wildflowers such as asters. There are also many snags, or dead trees, scattered among the brook, making the area pretty open and light. I chose this spot because it’s the loudest part of the brook and I love listening to the water run. I also think the purple aster is beautiful and this spot in particular is beautiful.
