Phenology Blog- October 11th

I decided to use Centennial Woods for my phenology spot because I want to explore the area more. To get to my spot you go down the path at the trail head and at the second clearing there is a small path to the left. It runs above and almost parallel to Centennial Brook and if you follow the path for a few minutes you will see a few big fallen trees to the left on the incline. The trees caught my eyes as a good sitting spot to observe and I really like how densely packed the trees are and that you can still hear the brook. There are tons of ferns all over and lots of fallen trees. The two main types of trees are Norway Maple and Eastern White Pine but there are also a few Sugar Maples, a single Paper Birch, and a few American Beech trees that are very dead without bark. None of the trees have changed color yet but the Eastern White Pines are dropping a lot of needles. Some other vegetation are Barberry and Thicket Creeper.
