I appreciated that people can come to enjoy the nature in the area but also that it wasn&#8217;t overcrowded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-midblue-background-color has-background\"><strong>17 October 2022: <\/strong>Welcome to my blog! I&#8217;m excited to share my observations and updates with my phenology spot. Today, I biked to my spot in the pouring rain to gather my notes, the trail turned to mud as I made my way to the brook. The brook was fast-moving due to the heavy rain with lots of surrounding vegetation and fallen leaves in the water. I heard many birds chirping in the area as I walked to my spot; leading up to the brook I walked along a series of small bridges that allow you to cross the muddy trail. Surrounding the brook, I observed the biodiversity of the area; Lots of tall grass covered the ground along with a Red Maple tree close by and three Walnut trees in the understory. An abundance of Eastern White Pines appeared in the overstory, providing a good amount of coverage from the rain. When it comes to human interaction, many people use these woods as a place to, hike, run, and even bike. My goal is to hopefully maintain the land to prevent any kind of pollution and keep it as peaceful and biodiverse as possible. I would love to test the water and soil quality of the area to get a better understanding of the effect humans and pollution have on it. I&#8217;m excited to see the progression of this phenology spot as we move throughout the year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mjhamel\/files\/2022\/10\/IMG_4309-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mjhamel\/files\/2022\/10\/IMG_4309-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mjhamel\/files\/2022\/10\/IMG_4309-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mjhamel\/files\/2022\/10\/IMG_4309-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mjhamel\/files\/2022\/10\/IMG_4309-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mjhamel\/files\/2022\/10\/IMG_4309-1568x2091.jpg 1568w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mjhamel\/files\/2022\/10\/IMG_4309-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"7\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mjhamel\/files\/2022\/10\/IMG_4313-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mjhamel\/files\/2022\/10\/IMG_4313-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mjhamel\/files\/2022\/10\/IMG_4313-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mjhamel\/files\/2022\/10\/IMG_4313-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mjhamel\/files\/2022\/10\/IMG_4313-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mjhamel\/files\/2022\/10\/IMG_4313-1568x2091.jpg 1568w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mjhamel\/files\/2022\/10\/IMG_4313-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mjhamel\/files\/2022\/10\/IMG_4310-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mjhamel\/files\/2022\/10\/IMG_4310-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mjhamel\/files\/2022\/10\/IMG_4310-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mjhamel\/files\/2022\/10\/IMG_4310-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mjhamel\/files\/2022\/10\/IMG_4310-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mjhamel\/files\/2022\/10\/IMG_4310-1568x2091.jpg 1568w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mjhamel\/files\/2022\/10\/IMG_4310-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I chose Centennial Woods brook because I really connected with the area during our first tree identification assignment.
