Phenology Location

My location is right on the edge of Centennial Woods, adjacent to a couple houses with large gardens. I found it while exploring the Woods with some of my friends, and found it to be a very quiet and peaceful place that I will look forward to visiting throughout the year. To get there, you simply follow the main path into the Woods, and when you reach the clearing with a few large hemlock trees, take the path that crosses a small stream, and then go up the hill, and into the clearing. My spot is partially a man made clearing, and partially the forests of Centennial Woods. I have chosen the boundaries of my spot to be the clearing at the top of the hill, and on the other side, a large White Pine that has fallen across the path, part way down the hill. The clearing has been laid with grass, so there is little diversity, but the forest has a variety of species of mature trees, and about 50% of the forest floor is covered with ferns.

Here is a list of some of the species I have noticed so far at my location:

  • Eastern White Pine
  • Sugar Maple
  • Norway Maple
  • Black Cherry
