There is more foliage in my phenology spot but only in small areas because the majority of the area is conifers like eastern hemlock and eastern white pine. There are a few northern red oaks on the ridgeline of the wetland that have orange and yellow foliage. There are also a few red maples that show fall colors. Similarly, on the forest floor there are concentrated areas of leaf litter but it is mostly covered in eastern white pine needles.
The vegetation looks mostly the same and the ferns and wetland species have not been very effected by the weather changes yet. Some of the species are beginning to die and shrivel up such as the tall blue lettuce. And a lot of the vegetation along the steam appears washed around or windblown from the recent rain.
