Phenology Assignment #2: Introduction Post

The place I chose to go to for my phenology project is Centennial Woods. One of the main reasons was that it is a very close walk from my dorm, so it is convenient for me. I live on Central Campus, so I cut around the College of Medicine and go around Jeffords lot, and after walking down you’ll eventually see the campus police building. It’s right around there. Another reason is that since I’ve been to Centennial Woods quite a few times, I get the feel for where I’m at and which areas were of interest to me.

The vegetation in my place was very varied. My place is in the shadier part of the forest, so there were many ferns growing around the area. There was a good mix of taller and shorter trees around the general space. I noticed there were several fallen rotted logs, and on them there’s a thriving community of moss and fungi.

Common Woody Plants:

Eastern Hemlock

Eastern White Pine

Sugar Maple

Paper Birch
