a long days work
Walking back to base camp after surveying all day with some great people.
Day 4
The swamp ecosystem has a diverse range of animal life and some of the biggest bugs I have ever seen. Many of these bugs I have never seen before. The picture below shows an ant the size of my finger nail.
Day 4
Today was our first day at woodland’s conservancy doing restoration work. It was a long day but very rewarding. Kinda of like the swamp ecosystem.
Their aint no crossroads in the swamp , just crosstransects
No time to chat they said , gotta write down our data .
I need a water stick !
We thought we were going to stay dry, until we saw this . Thanks for the heads up Bog Boys !
Day Four: Wet boots
Well, I certainly don’t feel like a tourist anymore. Today we had our first chance to get our boots dirty in the English Turn Forest, and after a refresher on species names from the good Dr. Huggins, it was off to the field for some surveys. And while it was slow going through thickets of blackberry and water up past your boots, we managed to get a lot of work done in short amount of time.
