Today we got a chance to split into our groups and discuss our projects. With having access to primary forest, secondary forest and forest that has agricultural lands close enough for impact we knew we wanted to compare the streams in each area. This meant we needed to cover a lot of ground. We walked about 7 miles stopping at four different locations, three of which we tested, and the other was just for a little cool air at the bottom of the waterfall as we were hot and tired by that point. All day I was in awe of honestly everything but the colors of the forest are so beautiful. We can read all about how primary forest has little growth down on the forest floor due to the higher trees absorbing all the sunlight and that there is a difference once its been altered but seeing it first hand and how dramatic of a difference it is was amazing.
There is so much I want to write about today because its still surreal the things that I have taken in today but Im honestly so exhausted.
Ps. Wild bandanas are pink and in the middle of the bundle have a beautiful flower and I feel so blessed to have been able to see those today.
