I slept in a tent! It was a huge one that I shared with
Daniela and Jessica. Lisa’s person tent was right next to ours. Daniel,
Jessica, and I told scary stories, which ended up with Daniela becoming scared
and paranoid. Ha ha ha!
We met a great scientist named Doug, who showed us the Flood
Plain Forests at the Potter Farm where they were trying to restore Silver
Maples and American Elms. We took the height and girth of the tree, and
mentally took note of how the saplings were doing. Doug says they’re doing
great! He said that everything he expected to happen was happening, and that
he’s pleased with the results. And then today, we went to the Vickie Bunnell
Preserve to pull Purple Loosestrife. Those were a headache, because their roots
were so tangled up in the dry, compacted dirt, but it was great getting rid of
those dang invasive species!
