Local Phenology Location Blog Post 1

For my Phenological location I chose a spot in Centennial Woods that I have had my eye on since the first lab. It is about a 5 minute walk from the entrance of the woods and down a small hill to the creek bed. I chose this spot because I wanted an area where there I could observe the phenological changes that occur in small body of water. I am looking forward to see how the water level and habitat for aquatic organisms changes throughout the year. This spot also provides many different plant species to study. I found Eastern White Pine, Yellow Birch, Red Maple, Eastern Hemlock, and Buckthorn to name a few. I think that it will also be interesting to look at the bank composition and the erosion that I can already see develop throughout the year.
