This was mostly an outside learning experience which was amazing! Our friends MAD Scientists who specialize in Ecological and Wetland Consulting came to share with us. We got out our boots and mucked around in the wetlands. While mucking around I learned some new things. Take a look at some of our journey...
Wetlands Fall 2011
This was shared with us. Take a look at how well our wetlands have done!
Wetlands August 2012

Wetland with a funnel trap in the middle
We use this to temporary and safely trap in organisms to see what species are inhabiting our wetlands.
Stream that is located West of that yurt actually flows into Blacklick Creek at some point
Some plant life
These are called Corn Flowers.
BEWARE:
Plant life to avoid!!!!
Poison Ivy, our three leaf friends...
While we are talking about plant life...
There is a great amount of ragweed so if allergic please take precautions before we visit.
Velvet leaf
Can you guess why it is called a velvet leaf?!
As you can see, so many things to learn and experience!!! An exciting year awaits us!!!
