Finishing Up

We are now ending our second to last week here in the Grand Canyon. Planting, watering and weeding has just about come to an end due to the cold/snowy weather. The team has been splitting up and helping other staff members finish up their winter work. Monday morning Christine and I helped Ash in the nursery with transplanting. We were transplanting baby fernbush seedlings from flats into individual plugs to help them grow without any added competition. Very tedious work. Tuesday the enitre group went out to Desert View to help the crew cage and mulch the visitor center and road scar. The team really enjoyed our time out there, as it provided a much needed change of scenery. Wednesday our crew continued to help Ash with transplanting and finished up our GPS tasks from the previous week. Max and I also continued our work on completing some identification cards that will help future NPC to learn the native plants at a faster rate. Thursday we all enjoyed a hike down to Dripping Springs in the canyon. Great week!
