| Wetland Mapping - October 4th and 25th | October 31, 2019 - 3:12pm |
One of my favourite things about working at MABRRI is the opportunity to help with a variety of the different ongoing projects. On October 4th and 25th I joined Haley, Jess, and Alanna on trips to Gabriola Island for the Wetland Mapping project. The goal was to map some of the wetlands on the island to better understand where they are situated and how they are classified. Our first day of mapping was a very wet one, as we were greeted with heavy rain soon after we arrived at the site. Haley and Jess conquered one big wetland and Alanna and I another. |
