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 🙂
Successful first day!
We had a great time on our first day of transect surveys. A little wet and prickly but everyone handled it like champs 🙂
Starting off our first day of work in Woodlands Conservancy!
Dr. Huggins is helping us identify our woody plant specie before we get started on our transects.
