Final Thursday of project, and it went kind of like this:
well. Long story short we were running through the metrics of the tree
recruitment plots with the same efficiency as Grant Gilchrist and his lusciously
long strides as he backpedals towards the goal on a fast break only to lunge
forward towards the apposing striker at the last second and take the ball from
him with great ease. Sorry that the
upcoming World Cup got us so hype about soccer.
Anywho, we would travel with the sturdy enclosures to the various
sapling shadows, then work our way through the dense network of young
treelings. On our journey, many an
Acacian meanderer inquisitively would ask us about our project due to our
innately interesting getup and array of tools. Our garb consisted of the
absence of sleeves, which would only constrict the necessary circulation needed
for our brains to correctly evaluate each plot.
Additionally, we carried the crucial meter frame of PVC, a rubber
mallet, the foot-long loppers, measuring tapes, an array of multi-tools, and,
of course, our signature headwear.
Trees are
in the past, and we shifted our focus to the less glamorous, busy work side of
science. Our Friday morning consisted of data entry of the various metrics we
have been measuring over these last few weeks, assistance came from the great
aid that is Microsoft Excel. Seriously, spreadsheets swiftly sorted and secured
the surely sacred science that sensei, sassy scientist Sara, sought to sear into
our senior souls. Speaking of that rascal, we pilgrimaged to Parma for a truly
bittersweet sendoff at WEST CREEK Reservation. Sara and the team impressed us
with their informative audiovisual project.
Now, all due respect to the great BEHI predecessors but Rosgen has to
hop back onto his Colorodo school bus and take a trip back to Get-Learnedville
and see how we do things in Ohio. Shale
can be erodible! Sorry for the sass, but
no one should ignore Sensei Sara’s emails without expecting a little flack
from the boys. On a less jocular note, Sara was really a huge help to our
project and we will miss her dearly.
Goodbye,
-The Glum Gang
