Although earlier in October, I had aided WREN with a student ethnobotany\/seed-after-burn project, this was trial by fire: leading my own group of second graders through the trails that surround the WEW Partnership office. The students were excited to be out of the classroom and full of energy; I was terrified. However, it turned out to be tons of fun! The kids learned about Queen Anne&#8217;s Lace and Pennyroyal (which, although a non-native species, is a good indicator of vernal pools), and enjoyed seeing ducks and other animals in the wetlands.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to my short adventure outside, I also started training in GeoBOB (Geographic Biotic Observations). The GeoBOB database works in conjunction with ArcGIS, so I&#8217;m getting to brush up on the new GIS skills I acquired during the summer.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, November was a rather quiet month. I&#8221;m looking forward to things to come!<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Til next time!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>November was a relatively quiet month at the office.
