I made my final visit to Centennial Woods today, and wow! Spring is definitely here! The snow is completely gone, and everything is starting to turn green again. Birds were all over the place, singing like crazy, and the stream that was frozen all winter is finally flowing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I even noticed way more people than usual walking the trails, clearly I\u2019m not the only one excited to be outside again! It\u2019s been really cool to watch the woods change over time, and today was such a great reminder of how fast things can shift this time of year.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Major and Minor Landmarks:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the major and minor landmarks I’ve become familiar with include the birch tree (shown above), the stream, and the first bridge. I\u2019ve even made mental notes along the way, like how I always know I\u2019m getting close to the bridge once I hit the stream. It\u2019s funny how quickly these spots start to feel familiar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nature and Cultural Intertwines:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nature and culture intertwine at Centennial Woods because of the educational and human benefits it provides. Throughout the semester, it\u2019s been a classroom, a quiet escape, and a place to recharge. And it\u2019s not just for UVM students, anyone can enjoy what it has to offer. Whether you\u2019re there to study the ecosystem or just take a walk, Centennial makes room for both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do I feel like a part of Centennial? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I first started visiting my phenology site I didn’t really feel any sort of connection to the area. However, over the past year making regular visits to Centennial Woods for this blog and for labs, I now feel like I am a part of it. I have seen it go through many changes within such a sort span of time. I have even found myself visiting outside of assignments, to run and just have somewhere quiet to be. Centennial will be a place I will continue to visit even after this semester. I’m forever thankful for having access to such great natural areas so close to me.
