Unfortunately, for the last week of the phenology blog, I am not in Burlington, and am instead at home on Martha’s Vineyard. Last time I saw my spot at home was right before I left in January. The ground was hard, the trees were bare, and decaying leaves and matter covered the forest floor. The […]

During the four day BioBlitz I was able to explore Centennial Woods! I also was able to go on a hike at the Stowe Pinnacle, which isn’t right in Burlington/Winooski area, but it was interesting to see the nature there as well! My experience with iNaturalist was good because I thought it was really interesting […]

I have not been to my site in a bit of time, so visiting was much different than last. Centennial is opening up to spring, and the newly sprouting buds and emerging plants show that. On my walk to may site, I heard many birds, I’m guessing the song was American robins, since I spotted […]
A stroll around Burly

Starting at WDW on Redstone Campus, I made my way into Burlington. The weather was partly cloudy, probably around 20 degrees F, with a bit of a breeze as well. Not a shock, but first I encountered many human tracks in the snow. Other evidence of human activity were the few pieces of litter along […]

Burlington is a city interwoven with a college campus and natural areas. One of these natural areas is Centennial Woods, a natural area where Native Americans lived, and Europeans & Americans settled. The land ownership went from Baxter, 1891, Ainsworth, 1904, Hickok, 1908, Kirby, 1938, and Unsworth, 1968. The forest is presumed fairly new, since […]

In my hometown of Edgartown, on Martha’s Vineyard, there is a heavy mix of suburbs and natural landscapes. I live right in the suburbs, but am lucky to have a protected natural area nearby, Sheriff’s Meadow. To get to my site, you only need to walk about ten minutes into the trail loop. While you […]

My event map! Changes I noticed at my site in Centennial Woods were way less leaves on the trees, and in turn, more buildup of leaves on the forest floor. On my walk to my spot, I also noticed the stream seemed to have more debris buildup and flowing through it. Centennial Spot Poem! Blistering […]

When I visited my spot in Centennial Woods it was much chillier and grey out than the time before. I noticed more browning leaves than last time, and the appearance of a few mushrooms!

Centennial Woods 10.11

Centennial Woods is an integral piece of Burlington located right on the UVM campus. From the UVM Davis Center head down Catamount Drive and on the left is a path with a UVM sign, “Centennial Woods.” I chose Centennial Woods because of its proximity to campus, the variety of species, and the variety of ecosystems/other […]
