I had an amazing time buying and preparing lunch today!! We went to the Cescent City Farmers Market to buy fresh produce for our meals. I was part of Team Entree and we made a tomato base sauce with celery, onions, garlic, sweet peppers, hot peppers, and Joes Stuff. We added shrimp and had rice on the side.
Getting ready for the first day in the forest- time for some mud.
In the end, our days worth of work is leading this place in a better direction .

We’re all bunch of champs! The swamp wouldn’t be the same without this group. CORNBREAD!
Dr. Huggins gives us a lesson on how to identify male and female White Mulberry.

It’s a little warmer today than yesterday but that means it’s a little drier! We found where all the blackberry was hiding on our last couple of transects but when all you have is blackberry to count it makes the work go a lot faster 🙂
Sunday saw both the let-up of rain and our hard core Service Learning switch get thrown to “on.” We began with a morning of orientation about the ecology and management of the system and by noon were hitting our annual surveys in support of Woodlands Conservancy’s long-term conservation efforts.
