Cloudy and misty, 55 degrees F. As the semester comes to a close, it becomes increasingly more difficult coming to terms with leaving behind one of my favorite places in Burlington, Centennial Woods. Especially as plants begin popping up through soil and trees slowly getting greener, it makes it harder to say goodbye to this […]
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 […]
Phenology of Ocean City, New Jersey
10th & Boardwalk. 51°F. Saturday, March 16, 2019. My spring break was spent in my hometown Ocean City, New Jersey where it was beautiful low-fifty degree weather and sunny all week, with a couple 60+ degree days. That being said, I spent a fair amount of time taking advantage of the unusually warm March by […]
Classifications and Phenological Changes in Centennial Woods
Wednesday, March 06, 2019 Sunny and windy, 15°F Happy March. Phenological changes are beginning to occur rapidly as the weather is beginning to show the first signs of warming. It was rather exciting to hear the sounds of flowing water from the stream at my Phenology location and the sounds of birds. This week, I […]

The World as Events & Photo Gallery
Sunday, November 04, 2018 2:00pm 55°F Sunny What a beautiful day for a walk on the Champlain waterfront. This is the busiest I’ve seen the waterfront since the end of this summer. So many people were taking advantage of the great weather (with their dogs, too!). Since my last visit to the phenology site, most […]
The View is Great: FALLin’ for this season…
Visited on Friday, October 19, 2018 at 1:30pm. Sunny, windy, 55°F It’s been some time since my last waterfront expedition here in Burlington. Since last time I visited, I’ve noticed the small jetty into Lake Champlain looks more bare, with significantly less green hues and lush shrubbery, and instead more yellows and ambers in […]
Intro to my Phenology Spot
Welcome to the Lake Champlain waterfront jetty! This tiny strip of land juts out into the Lake, providing a great fishing spot at the very end. This spot can be reached by walking from campus if you have some time to explore. It is close to a 40 minute walk down college street to the […]
