The Last Week is Approaching

Hello all.

So, the last week is here. It went by so fast. A little too fast but I have learned a lot so far!

Group Vernal is doing great and I am excited to see our finishing project this week. We are doing our lesson plan out on the Tamposi Wednesday and Thursday is the last day when we present everything! I am currently working on a website that we can have out there for the general public that has little bit about vernal pools in general and a little bit about our project. Wednesday we did vegetation plots. Two on what we have deemed the vernal pool interior and one right on the border. In these plots we determined which was the dominate trees, shrubs/saplings, and herbaceous species. The information we found supported that we in fact were in a pretty large vernal pool. Very exciting! Here are some of the vegetation that we saw and if you like you can research what is and isn't a wetland species!

Black Huckleberry



















Royal Fern



















Common Highbush Blueberry















Until later...
