Lab Yesterday

[forestofglory]

Yesterday in my watershed management lab we went out to take some measurements in a riparian buffer. This planting around a stream, to help control run off form fields. It reduces the amount of sediment and nitrates that get into the stream and also provides some habitat. I've finally bought myself a pair of wellies for field work (My other pair is at home in California) so I got to wade in the stream a bit -- but my jeans got wet an dripped onto my socks. It was most nice out, but there were moments when it was quite cold.
