The End of Week 3

Today was an indoor day (although it was hotter inside!). Our group had no need to go into the field. Yesterday we gathered data from 3 vegetation plots, found the coordinates of the 19 points used to map the boundary so today's activities sadly turned to compilation and lesson planning. One of the questions we had when we left our site on Wednesday was when and if the moose would return? We are happy to report that all of our human activity and impact at the vernal pool didn't deter the moose from returning to the well traveled path he/she had cut through the pool. New tracks were spotted today by another group and they brought back the proof in pictures.

All our hard work outdoors is paying off! We have a lot of great data that we will transform into one cohesive presentation and binder. We are excited for our lesson plan, even if it took a few tries to make it right, because we will be outdoors and exploring our area!

This weekend Rick will be heading to Vermont for a beerfest, and of course his pedagogy. Tessa will be the best mother ever and Sunday she will be working as an apprentice docent on an Isle of Shoars tour boat! If you have time check it out! Mary is going to hangout with the green head flies at Plum Island. And Yvonna will be heading south to Cape Cod and probably partake in some fishing.

Although we are all going are separate ways we will be working on our parts of our project.
The question is for the weekend what will this all look like Monday?
Have a nice weekend...

I enjoyed reading your blog. I would love for you guys to get that camera out at your site so I can see the moose! Put it on your binder front or in a power point as the last surprise slide! -Rena
