Another volunteer work project at the Parkville Nature Saunctary


Lewis Jonas, Committee member supervising a hard working crew from the Parkville South National Honor Society


This crew spreading mulch and topsoil on one of the Native plant gardens


Working from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday, April 28


Another crew spreading gravel and then wood chips on a soggy trail near the dam


This crew being supervised by Jim Reed, Sanctuary Director


They had all the gravel spread by 10:30 a.m. or so, then a break and a start on spreading the wood chips
















Almost at the end of the trail section needing gravel... Another crew another 'Stream Team' project scheduled for the afternoon


Then Jim suggested taking another look at the waterfall, much more water coming down after the last rains


I will maybe add some of these pics to the Sanctuary page, but temporarily put them here





~ Another Project ~ 1:00 p.m. on April 28
~ Stream Team with Park Hill South ~
~ Advanced Biology class ~


This was a lab field project for the Advanced Biology class from Park Hill South high school


Orientation and planning at the start of the project


I didn't have much information as to what the project consisted of but got a fair idea along the way


One project was to measure stream turbidity... What's that? Muddiness, what else?


And another step was to collect and identify samples of insects, larvae and other material in the creek


But I just took the pictures of the activity and am just not quite able to comment properly


So I will leave that to the student Biologists in the class and their instructors


But... Apparently... a good time was had by all




And an interesting outing on a very nice afternoon


































With the project well underway... I'm off to make another web page...
