Centennial Woods is nestled just between UVM’s Athletic and Trinity campuses. In particular, I chose to focus on a little spot nestled just beyond the entrance, to the right of the first “caution: poison ivy” sign. The spot can be found down a small trail which opens up to a boulder by the stream that runs its way through the woods. I chose this place because it was an accessible walk from campus, and has a lot of natural beauty and value. I wanted to choose a place that I would want to spend time at even without this assignment, as scenic and secluded outdoor spaces on or near campus are hard to come by.
