Jan 16 | HOME | Project Reflection 1 My time with South Sound GREEN, had been an beneficial and rewarding experience. It has provided insight into my future aspirations as an environmental educator. I feel a sense of accomplishment while working with the young students and seeing their eyes light up as they venture into a new learning experience. This position has also provided me with the closeness to nature that I’ve been seeking. The idea of being able to interact with nature and the students makes this “job” feel more like a learning experience to me as well.

Jan 30 | GREEN | Project Reflection 2 During this week, I traveled around the Henderson Watershed and found new and exciting places that I never knew existed. We have such a wonderful area to be living in, that I’m constantly seeing new places. We are fortunate to have these places so close by and yet many people never see or experience these magnificent view and sights. I feel that people are loosing their sense of adventure and ties to our natural world, that I will be gone before they discover its beauty.

Feb 7 | HOME | Project Reflection 3: It the end of January already and I have seen and discovered more that most people will in their entire life. I want to be able to share these new experiences with other and provide an awareness that’s needed to protect and conserve our resources. I have decided that one means in providing awareness will be through photography. At the end of this quarter I will begin a professional photography program and provide the missing link between nature and the people. I’m looking forward to the upcoming challenges in making this connection.

March14 | GREEN | Henderson Inlet Community Shellfish Farm: Nearshore Water Quality monitoring with Komachin Middle School, 6th grade, 18 students, conducted invertebrate sampling, water quality practices, shellfish production and identification. while waiting for the students to arrive, i found myself wondering what the area had to have been like proior to the white mans arraival. the peaceful setting of watching the shorebirds fly from spot to spot in search of food. the waters tidal changes, the mountains in the background and the clouds floating by. the secene was broking by the sounds of an aircraft flying over, several dogs barking and the bus arrving at the farm. the scene of the moment was still a relaxing time. |
