My phenology site is located in the woods beside Mercy Hall. To get there, find your way to Trinity Campus and head to the back of Mercy where you will see a paved path along a forest, somewhere along this path is an entrance to the woods. Follow this path all the way back, past the fallen tree used as a bench to the top of the hill with a large pile of wood. Head down the path leading down the hill and once you’re about halfway from the top and see a yellow and white bird feeder, you’ve made it to my phenology spot! I chose this site because of it’s relative location to my dorm considering most things are not close to Trinity I thought it would be nice to have my phenology spot close by so I can visit often and also get to know the woods by Trinity a bit better.
The vegetation at my site is mostly ferns including wood fern and christmas fern and I also found mapleleaf vibrunum scattered between fallen leaves and needles.
List of the most common woody plants:
- Striped Maple
- Sugar Maple
- Witch Hazel
- Eastern White Pine
- Northern Red Oak
- American Beech
- White Ash
