Final visit 5/9/21
During this visit to Centennial woods, it was clear that spring has sprung in Burlington. The ground was no longer covered in dead leaves, plant life has started to cover the floor. In particular, I noted the presence of fiddleheads in Centennial, something I did not see last time. I noticed that the small, young buds on the trees last time have started to grow even more, most of them flowering or sprouting leaves. I was able to identify Silver Maple and American Beech buds. The brook was also flowing faster and the water level had gotten higher due to more melting snow upstream. Overall, Centennial woods is much greener than ever before this season and it is amazing to see how much it has changed since the beginning of the semester.
