So far we have about twelve seed collections either completed or in progress and we haven\u2019t had any more cows eating our plant populations. The first part of my internship has been focused on collecting forbs, but now we finally get to start collecting grasses! This past Thursday we made a collection of <em>Achnatherum thurburianum<\/em> (Thurber\u2019s needlegrass) and next week we plan on collecting <em>Festuca idahoensis<\/em> (Idaho Fescue). No need to crawl from plant to plant when you can walk by and easily grab a spikelet; it\u2019s the seed collector\u2019s version of a cakewalk.<\/p>\n<p>As for the weekends, I have traveled quite a bit! I got to check Crater Lake National Park off the bucket list along with going to the redwood forest in Crescent City, California and bopping around towns like Cave Junction and Bend, Oregon. I\u2019m so thankful that I work in a place where I\u2019m only a few hours from such great stuff! I\u2019m getting much better at camping and I am continually amazed at how gorgeous this part of the country really is. That\u2019s all I have to say for now and I\u2019ll let you all know how I handle temperatures as they finally approach 100 degrees.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello again!
