The FS was asked to\u00a0 re-seed the site to prevent erosion from 2019 spring snow melt. The anticipation is that the flats will revert to sedge meadow . Seed was broadcast across fresh mud flats, a lot of sinking up to the knees and getting stuck in mud.<\/p>\n<p>I helped the fish crew collect trout population data via shocking, collecting, and then identifying and measuring fish. First, nets were set about 300\u00a0 ft apart across a stream and then we walked up stream, making three passes, stunning the fish with a low electrical current and capturing them in nets.<\/p>\n<p>We planted various native forbs in the expanded wildlife opening. Also, I did the final bee survey for the season. A couple of the sites had almost no floral resources; one was filled only with <em>Pteridium aquilinum<\/em>. Finally, I had a couple of great days snorkeling, assisting with manual removal of <em>Myriophyllum spicatum<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Some cool things I found in the woods.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 50%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-80051 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/blog.clminternship.org\/?attachment_id=80079'><img width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.clminternship.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/IMG_0760-300x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-80079\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-2-80079'>\n\t\t\t\tProsartes hookeri\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/blog.clminternship.org\/?attachment_id=80078'><img width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.clminternship.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/IMG_0854-300x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-80078\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-2-80078'>\n\t\t\t\tPectinatilla magnifica\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/blog.clminternship.org\/?attachment_id=80077'><img width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.clminternship.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/IMG_0791-e1539479971936-300x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-80077\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-2-80077'>\n\t\t\t\tPhegopteris hexagonoptera\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/blog.clminternship.org\/?attachment_id=80076'><img width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.clminternship.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/IMG_0780-e1539479995900-300x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-80076\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-2-80076'>\n\t\t\t\tDryopteris filix-mas\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Plant surveys continue.
