Having the same site for the past two semesters, I have seen it change in so many different ways. From being full of life and green in the beginning of my first semester, to very bare and going through the Winter phenology in the end of last semester, and now it’s finally starting to go …

Phenology Blog 4!!
The areas that I explored during the urban Bio-blitz happening in the Greater Burlington area was parts of Central Campus and downtown Burlington. I found that my experience using INaturalist throughout my first two semesters has been good, and I believe that this app is very user friendly and helpful in identifying/uploading species. I had …

For my phenology walk/blog assignment, I had gone out on April 18th around 3 p.m.! It was a relatively nice day, with a strong breeze and a lot of clouds.

While going back and spending time in my spot and observing all the different changes that have happened in what seems like so fast, I can see that the area looks a lot different from when I first arrived on campus. The trees have all changed their colors and grow pretty vibrant in the crisp …
Phenology Assignment!
While I first heard about the NR1010 Phenology Project, I wanted to pick a place that really amazes me, and shows the aspects between nature and human impact. There are lots of places around Vermont that really capture this idea, but the one that stuck out to me the most was the University Green, facing …
