Greetings from Brandywine Creek State Park! The easiest way to reach this hidden gem is to park in the lot off of Thompsons Bridge Rd in Wilmington, Delaware. Then follow the path for half a mile, passing under the bridge, until coming to a fork in the road; take the path to the left and walk until reaching the water. Welcome, you have arrived to my phenology spot!
The forest right before reaching the river bank of the Brandywine, is dominated by mostly Box Elders. However, Sycamore, Red Maples, Sweetgum, and Silver Maples also compose the canopy. The understory is made up of the common species: elderberry, multiflora rose, wild ginger, spicebush, and summer grape.
