The 3rd week is almost over and we just completed our mini project! It was a 3 day project where my team and I worked at Rodgers Park in Vinton, IA. On the first day we helped clear brush and trees to make way for a new trail from the park to the brand new Nature Center. In the afternoon we helped move Karen from her old office into the new nature center.

On the second day it was raining therefore not much work was done outside. We worked in the garage disassembling a hydraulic trailer, cleaning up, and disposing of trash and recyclables. We took a break to enjoy black bear stew (yes we ate bear) that was shot and cooked by Karen the naturalist who works at the park. After we ate she showed us all the animal skins and skulls of animals that reside in Iowa. It was pretty cool considering skunks were one animal that she showed us and everyone knows how much I am terrified of skunks.

On the 3rd and final day we built a foot bridge and cleaned up the park. It was rather cold out so we did not get to participate digging the trench where the footbridge was going due to the frozen soil but other than that it was not too bad.
Some of Cedar 4 on the footbridge we built!

Tomorrow we have our first project debrief where we present as a team our project and its results to our Unit Leader and other members of the staff.
We find out our first round project Saturday and I cannot wait!
I am trying to be more up to date on my blogs from now on hopefully internet access will allow it!
