Over the weekend of the City Nature Challenge, I went out to Centennial Woods to identify trees and wildlife with friends. It was fun trying to identify birds with their calls, as I’ve never gotten into birding before, but have always wanted to try. I never figured out how to join the group, but using… Continue reading 29 April 2024 – City Nature Challenge

Over break, I was really excited to see how my phenology spot would change once it became spring so I was glad to get back to the spot three days after the official start of the season. Despite this, Vermont’s still been receiving snowfall in the early part of the season, allowing for this to… Continue reading 22 February 2024 – Visit 5

I live in Rockaway Beach in Queens, New York, a small beach community on a peninsula which is home… Continue reading 25 November 2023 – Rockaway Beach

When I arrived at my phenology location for my second visit, I was interested to see what could have changed during the three weeks of my absence. After sitting down to draw my map, I took in the beauty of my area and began to draw. Starting my drawing, I begin to notice the changes… Continue reading 5 November 2023 – Visit 2

For my phenology project, I decided to look into the Sea Caves at Arthur Park. I originally took interest in the Sea Caves while looking for locations on google maps and thought the ecology surrounding it would present a very compelling area to work on my project. To get to the Sea Caves at Arthur… Continue reading 15 October 2023 – Visit 1
