For my phenology assignment I chose to focus on Centennial Woods because of how accessible it is to students. Centennial Woods is walking distance from UVM’s campus and such a great natural area within the city of Burlington however, I feel as if not many students know about it considering how accessible it is.
Centennial Woods is filled with many different organisms and plant life. Some of the dominant tree species include Eastern Hemlock, Red Oak, Eastern White Pine, and Yellow Birch. There are also many leafy plants along the sides of the trails, especially poison ivy.
