Redstone Woods Phenology

7, Dec 2025

It’s sad that it has to end this way… I returned expecting a winter forest with that same energy that it started with in the beginning of the year. Instead, I come to find out that they have cut down a very large amount of its trees! My phenology site is basically stripped, and I am not thrilled that this was done now.

Now I can totally see why this was done. It could be to prevent disease or overcrowding, but this timing really isn’t convenient considering the sticks are basically the extent of foliage out here. The stark contrast between my Framingham location and even these woods earlier this year is drastic. I hope the woods regrow even more pretty than how they started and return to what they are meant to be.

There are no animal tracks out here and it looks almost depressingly desolate. I’m not going to sugarcoat it, as far as things going on back here there really isn’t much.
