My, oh my. Time sure does fly!
Many things have happened since we last blogged. We have studied aquatic insects and hosted an aquatic insect fair! We have tested water chemistry in Bear Creek. We have measured stream flow (though we lost the paper that has the stream depths written on it, so we cannot calculate the stream flow!), and we have had many laughs. We have even walked to the library and stopped for hot chocolate on our way home!
Veteran's day is tomorrow. It is supposed to be a day for taking time to honor people who have served in the United State's armed forces, like the Army, Navy, Air Force, or Marines. These are people who have served our country by giving their time to our national defense system.
There are other ways to serve our country and this land, as well. For example, I have helped restore an area called the Ashland Pond with a group that I've worked with in the past here in Ashland. I have taught students how to restore a riparian area in Portland, taking out blackberry and planting trees, returning in the blazing heat of summer to offer them water. I have participated in clean-ups that have me picking up trash in many different areas.
I enjoy helping our planet and its small ecosystems. I feel good about myself when I know I have helped out in some way.
What is a way that you have helped out and offered your own services to someone or something else? Describe the situation and how it made you feel.
Have fun!
Trish
