Earth Week Phenology Site Visit

Saturday, April 27, 2019

Light rain, 50 degrees F

Happy Earth Week! The center of today’s visit to Centennial Woods was the stream flowing at a much higher speed and volume than I’ve previously seen. With all the rain of the past week, the stream is rapidly flowing and the trails are quite muddy with puddles.

There were no observed wildflowers poking up through the leaf litter; however, there are many dandelion greens which may soon have flowers.

Additionally, only a handful of trees around Centennial are flowering, yet just one of these were located in close proximity to my phenology site (see below). Most trees have buds formed that are not yet at the flowering stage.

Also, I’ve included a sketch of the a flowering tree which can be found here:

And again, happy Earth Week!
