The Plantish Plan of Attack: Trees

| | Comments (0)
Today, the Plantish group outlined our four days of field work:

On the first day we plan to start in the monoculture area of the property to the east of the cabins, and then proceed to the ornamental around the cabins.

On the second day, we will cover Mixed areas M1 and M2 directly south of Teak area 

Day three will cover Teak 2, Teak 3, Teak 4, and Patch 1.

Day four will be Teak 4, M3, Almendeo 1, P2 and P3.

We also hope to survey as much as the Sloth Valley area on the east side as possible by setting up quatrats around the permeter.

We have decided to specialize, and limit our sampling to the types of trees.

Tomorrow is the big day! We get together at 4am to depart Dallas!

Get some sleep!


The new Plantish Group

This is Chris, Hector, and Casey AKA the Plantish Group

Today marks one less day that we have to wait for Costa Rica!
Looking at a map of the Leaves and Lizard's property we have chosen the first quadrat in which we will be surveying plant species.

Tomorrow, we have settled on doing a practice quadrat in the woods near campus in the hopes that we will be more efficient in the field and have more time to work towards cataloging animal and insect species.



I do it all

Hey everyone!

This is Casey Lemke. I just finished my sophomore year as a English and Theology major.
I chose to take this class for my bio credit because I love to travel, be outside, and I looooveee tropical weather.  This class allows me to do it all while learning the fundamentals through personal experience. I'll be working on project four: the everything project.  However, Im most excited about the crazy snakes and deliciously fresh home-cooking.  Im not exactly looking forward to the tropical bugs though.

Sooo, If yall ever need bug spray, Im definitely the one to ask!
later!
