Dr. Huggins teaching Tulane students about native and non native species. Tulane and CSUCI will be working together today to collect valuable woodland data.
Check out Woodlands Conservancy’s Facebook here. They’ve been posting about the work we’ve been doing at the park as well as other activities around the park such as the ongoing bird banding project and free nature hikes that they offer to the public.
Paul Sanchez rocked the stage at Chikie Wah Wah’s this evening. He was even generous enough to give us each a signed copy of his CD. The highlight of the night was when the fiddle player of the Mulligan Brothers performed with Paul. The performance was so moving!
It was a little wet out there today. Delacroix is at a lower elevation than the Woodlands site, so retains much more water (which we had fun sloshing through!)
Today while doing our work in the swamp we came across a giant Thistle. The Thistle stood around 5 feet. Much larger then our thistle in California.
After a day of rain the swamps were full of water. Roughly 1-2 feet of standing water. Alex in the picture below is taking off his shoe as it was full of water from stepping in the wrong place.
