POBR2026 Day 6 Juneteenth



 to start off the day we woke up and ate our breakfast and got our lunches made for the day. once we were done we did some soil tests on the samples that we gathered yesterday. we did Ph, Nitrate/Nitrite, and phosphorus testing on the soil. we also was able to see how the levels of soil were separated within the test bottle that we used. some of the students also went to the collection sites and recorded the soil temperature with two soil thermometers. one is like a regular thermometer you would use to check the temp. of your turkey and the other one is a fancy digital thermometer that shows the soil temp and other information. once we got these done we also got the soil color and texture as well. for these we used either the Globe or mann. once we got back to camp we started on the more technical soil sample testing. which would take a few hours.

after we finished part of the soil sample testing we made our way to the Tamastslikt Cultural Institute. where we took a self guided tour of the museum. it was a pretty good tour I myself have never been here before so seeing all the displays and the information was pretty good. only other museum I have been to was the cultural center in toppenish WA. that one too was pretty good. after we took the tour we had enough time to relax and work on our poster, we worked on our methods portion of our poster, we also entered in some new data into our excel sheet. and after we finished up here we stopped by the RV park so we could take our showers. for dinner we had Pizza, that was made and cooked by Monet Becenti.

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 ...

started off the day as usual the breakfast group got breakfast and lunch supplies ready. Our group was in charge of clean up. After we got everything put away we started to gather our things. 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....
