day 3 surveying

 on day 3 we spent the first half of the day with 3 employees from the fisheries. who were Jordan B, Casey F. and Brian C. they took us to a few sites where they had a project they did a year or two prior I believe. we surveyed the stream they are rebuilding to where the stream can flood the plains more. I attached some pictures of the site and of the creek. we learned how to use a level that is used the measure the depth of certain assigned spots in the creek. we measured 1/4 of the way in the creek, 1/2 the way in the creek and 3/4 of the way in the creek. we helped with this until 1pm and came back to camp. where they introduced themselves and how long they been working. we took a lunch break for about an hour. 

after our lunch break we worked with Juan who showed us some methods to do to test the soil that we gathered yesterday afternoon. where we tested the nitrate, nitrite, phosphate, and Ph levels from the water. we did this for about an hour. than we made our way to the main Department of Natural Resources building where we had a small presentation from Warren Seyler. who talked to us about the history of the Spokane Tribe of Indians. it was a good informative presentation I learned about history that was never told in the classes in high school. and after we had that we came back to camp where everyone started to get dinner ready. tonight we had al pastor tacos for taco tuesday. I attached some photos I took through out the day. only photos I wasn't able to get of is the presentation.

POBR2026 DAY 13 Seed Extractory and Deschutes Public library

Today we got to sleep in until 730 am. Felt kind of relieved we have a day where we're not on a tight schedule and rushing to get to the meet up spot. So having a good normal paced day feels pretty good. Today our group was in charge of getting breakfast ready and the lunch supplies. We are also helping with dinner as well. After we got our lunches made and ate our breakfast we made our trip to the seed Extractory. Where we will be getting a tour at 10 am. Which I think will be a good tour can't wait to see what goes down. I have never been here before so it will be a good experience. When we arrived here we had a small talk with Kayla Herriman who is the national seed specialist. Kayla herriman showed us a couple raw seed material one was ambrosia. Kayla also showed us where they X-ray the seed to see if it has an embryo. Because if it doesn't have an ambryo than it won't be able to grow a tree. The machine they used for that was a Kubtec Xpert ...

We gathered our notebooks, soil sample supplies, and our shower stuff. Once we had everything packed up we started the trip to go meet up with Marlo. We stopped and gassed up the vehicles.excited to see what we will learn today. Yesterday was in my experience the best day so far.we met Marlo at the meet up spot and she is leading us to the site we will be at for the day. Can't wait to see how this day goes.once we got to the site we were on the hunt for the pumus moonwort. And I must say it was pretty awesome to look for. Put my eyes to work lol on the way back I had to stop and look at something faraway so my eyes would stop hurting. After lunch we made our way to stop at a natural spring that is rare to see in this area. After we looked at that we made our way to the second site....
