Scott met us at the White Oak Bayou to show us the sites that we would be working at and answer any questions we had. The first site that we went to was more of a degraded site that had trash, 4 wheeler tracks, and a power line. The next site was a good example of how much the water line changes and how much canopy cover there is in some places. While we were at this site Dr. Entrekin also suggested that I also look into insects that use wood for laying their eggs. We also used our time with Scott to brainstorm ways that we could teach the middle school students and learn a little more about what equipment they currently have. Next we drove to the other site and saw how there can be different types of wetlands very close together. We looked at a possible site but we did not get to explore due to lack of time. Scott also showed us a trick to determine if we were in a wetland using the soil. Going to wetland and seeing the actual sites gave us more prospective as to what we are actually doing and how it will help them once the road is built.
