While Centennial Woods may be close to campus, it is rich in flora and fauna. Within 15 minutes of walking, you are transported from an urban landscape to a wild one. Centennial was also one of the first places I came to know as part of UVM, and was one of the reasons I chose the school. I haven&#8217;t had much time to become acquainted with it, so that&#8217;s why I chose Centennial at large.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More specifically, I chose the boardwalk by the stream that overlooks the wetland for my phenology spot, partly because the forest edge and streamside habitat are usually teeming with life and partly because I saw asters flowering there, which are one of my favorite flowers. My spot is on the trail, so getting to it is easy. It provides a beautiful vista of the landscape and ample space to observe phenological changes in different natural systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile is-style-default\" style=\"grid-template-columns:56% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1500\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/surusow\/files\/2024\/10\/IMG_9652.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/surusow\/files\/2024\/10\/IMG_9652.jpeg 2000w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/surusow\/files\/2024\/10\/IMG_9652-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/surusow\/files\/2024\/10\/IMG_9652-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/surusow\/files\/2024\/10\/IMG_9652-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/surusow\/files\/2024\/10\/IMG_9652-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p>A map view of the location as well as an overall look at the spot.

Many of the lighter-colored asters (Purple-Stemmed?) have already bloomed alongside the goldenrods, which no longer paint the landscape yellow. Instead, the bright hues of the maples and birches give color to the rolling hills, making the season extra beautiful. The Joe-Pye Weed that lined the boardwalks is also beginning to die, and the dampness of the earth from the past few rains has brought out the color in some mosses on the trunk of a dead white pine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"40\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/surusow\/files\/2024\/10\/IMG_9832-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-40\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/surusow\/files\/2024\/10\/IMG_9832-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/surusow\/files\/2024\/10\/IMG_9832-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/surusow\/files\/2024\/10\/IMG_9832-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/surusow\/files\/2024\/10\/IMG_9832-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/surusow\/files\/2024\/10\/IMG_9832-scaled.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A wood fern, one of the many ferns that litter Centennial Woods.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"38\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/surusow\/files\/2024\/10\/IMG_9838-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-38\" style=\"width:416px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/surusow\/files\/2024\/10\/IMG_9838-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/surusow\/files\/2024\/10\/IMG_9838-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/surusow\/files\/2024\/10\/IMG_9838-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/surusow\/files\/2024\/10\/IMG_9838-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/surusow\/files\/2024\/10\/IMG_9838-scaled.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The mosses and lichens give a rich green hue to the bark.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>10\/14, 11:02am, Rainy, 44\u00b0F For my phenology project, I chose a place that many people know.
