ACTIVITES: 

I have contacted Lorn about getting together this week.  In the meantime, I have been reconsidering pipsissewa (Chimaphila umbellata) and think we should try it.  I want to schedule a field trip to another pine habitat. 

I went to the site off of Brockdale Road in Shelton, where I searched for the transplantings that a previous class had done.  I thought I found some, but want to go back with better shoes (I stupidly had on sandals as I had gone to visit Merilee).  I plan to go back here with Lorn in the next couple of weeks.  I think we should plan for the first Saturday in February for the field trip and will be inviting Loni and Kimberly along as well.  Some sites I looked at today are:
