Redstone Woods Phenology

Nestled in the back of Redstone campus at The University of Vermont, there is a small patch of woods. Easily missed and clearly overlooked. It’s a 2-minute walk from the parking lot at the back of wing on top of a grass platform separating 2 drainage reservoirs. Take a right turn into a small path that opens up to a deceptively pretty patch of woods. I would be lying if I said I chose this place for a reason besides convenience, but over time I realized its value. This area is a small sanctuary of nature in an otherwise urbanized area much like centennial woods is. However, this area is littered with debris and is clearly neglected. Yet despite its rough edges it’s still a cute and secluded spot in the woods that offers so much so close to campus.
