Centennial Woods

On my most recent visit, animal activity was hard to spot. The layer of snow on the ground was a few days old, meaning there were lots of human impacts to the ground. I trailed a bit off the path to find some wildlife tracks but was unable to discern any. It seemed like most of the patterns in the snow were from snow falling off the trees. I did see some dog prints, however, from people walking their dogs through the woods. I will have to make another trip in fresh snow and see if I can spot anymore wildlife activity then.

To reach my phenology site, you must first find the entrance to Centennial Woods natural area. It is located off of Catamount Drive, very close to the UVM campus. Once you enter, follow the path deep into the woods. My site is not a particular part of the woods, just keep walking until it feels right.
