Most of what I learned on the nature walk was in regards to plants. I finally managed to make myself remember the name of poke weed. I also learned that oak leaves are a great deal larger and longer than I thought. We mostly have maples around our house so I didn't really know. I also learned to recognize Periwinkle flowers. Always before, I'd gotten those mixed up with Chicory flowers.
Our water test is determining the amount of phosphates in the water. It connects to our project in that compost is full of phosphates, that's what makes it so good for plants.
I'm doing the composting project. My group and I are going to attempt to convert the baseball dugout on the west side of the old baseball field into a compost pile for the schools use. I'm also gathering soil samples to compare them to composted soil.
My responsibilities at the moment mainly consist of gathering the soil samples as I'm not very good at things requiring strength and I'm the only one with access to a worm bin.
