Welcome to my Phenology Location!

Hello and welcome to my NR1 phenology blog! I am very excited to share my findings surrounding my beloved phenology spot in the heart of Centennial Woods throughout this coming year. In order to get to my spot in the Centennial Woods, it would be easiest to take the trailhead our class regularly uses on Catamount Drive. Once you follow the trail to the hemlock grove, you take a sharp left and go across the Centennial Brook and follow a trail towards my spot. I have attached a photo of my walk I recorded to help visualize this spot more. What drew me to this spot was its’ orientation to the marsh and a hemlock grove. With this spot, I will be able to see phenology changes in both forested and aquatic ecosystems, which truly excites me. The overstory of my spot has an abundant amount of Eastern Hemlocks with some varieties of birches and maples nearby. In the understory, there are many shrubs, such as the LadyFern, and other deciduous trees that are still growing. The photos attached show two different panoramic views that complete a whole 360 degrees view of my phenology spot. I cannot wait to see how this spot changes overtime and I hope to update soon!
