It’s hard to believe it’s already been a month since my last post; September has gone by surprisingly fast.<\/p>\n
In mid-September, I drove down to Ashland, OR to tour the National Fish & Wildlife Forensic Laboratory with a group of my fellow CLM interns. This was definitely a highlight of my month; this tour was a once in a lifetime opportunity, and I learned so much that had not even been on the radar of my knowledge base.

WREN was leading a lessons where students participated in a seeding activity, spreading\u00a0Rumex salicifolia, Epilobium densiflorum, Madia elegans,\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Plagiobothrys figuratus<\/em>\u00a0seeds. We helped facilitate the seeding portion of the lesson, and it was nice to see students so enthusiastic about science and restoration.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It’s hard to believe it’s already been a month since my last post; September has gone by surprisingly fast.
