First venture out for the phenology project!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I chose a spot off of a main trail in Rock Point Natural Area. The exact location is a few feet down where the the Marsh Beach Trail meets the trail access road. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To get there from campus, you take the GMT from the University Heights stop, #1 to Williston, downtown to the transit center. From there, you take #7 to North Ave and get off at the Burlington High School Stop. After getting off the bus, you cross the road, walk down to the Rock Point entrance and continue straight down, past Rock Point School and the gardens, onto the trails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due to the fact that we were on a trail at the edge of the woods, the majority of vegetation consisted of ground covers, bushes and young trees. Among other ground hugging plants were a few scattered ferns, differing species of brambles, American asters, maple saplings, and wood sorrels. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dominant tree and woody plant species included Sugar Maple<\/a>, Green Ash<\/a>, Bittersweets<\/a>, Sumac (not pictures), and a species which I identified to be Beech<\/a> but will require further investigation when I return. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
