Space-time and Consciousness

Is consciousness simply the perception of time?  We live in the perpetual 'now' while the past is forever behind us, unchangeable, and the future is merely thoughts in anticipation.  

So many organisms have adapted to the rhythms of the natural world.  Our little phenology group at the BioParktry to tease these out of the behavior of the trees.  But does a tree have a perception of time or merely the repetition of cyclic events?
