Phenology Training Walk with Tryon Creek

Written By Shea Fuller

Friends of Tryon Creek

Join Friends of Tryon Creek for a guided training to learn how to observe and record the seasonal rhythms of plants in our local ecosystem!

Phenology is the study of natural life cycle events—like flowering, fruiting, and leaf-out—that signal seasonal change. By tracking these visible shifts over time, we can better understand how plant communities respond to climate, habitat conditions, and environmental change.

At this event, you’ll learn how to:
• Conduct a phenology walk using standardized observation protocols
• Identify key life stages in native plants (budding, flowering, fruiting, leaf drop, and more)
• Help track long-term changes in plant populations and their ecological timing

This event is free and open to participants 16 and older.
