Final Post (Team CAKE) 5/1/2015

  By kwr5220 • May 1, 2015 , ,

Team CAKE would like to first of all thank everyone who has been keeping up with our posts on this site.  We would also like to thank Dr. K as well as Kathy at Blue Marsh Lake for giving us the opportunity to spend time volunteering and helping out the community.  We had a lot of fun during our work day as well as in class in general.  We learned a lot about the pacific trash vortex and enjoyed sharing our research with our classmates.  We also enjoyed hearing everyone else’s presentations in class over the past week.

First Work Day At Blue Marsh Lake (Team CAKE) 4/11/15

  By kwr5220 • April 11, 2015 , ,

Today our team went out to Blue Marsh Lake and began our work on the flower beds.  We cleared out the left bed of the visitor’s center as well as the ones surrounding the ranger station and conference center.  We pulled weeds out of the flower beds and got rid of the dead plants.  Fortunately we had beautiful weather and we were able to work for seven hours (11:00 to 6:00).  We are looking forward to going back on April 17 to help out for a few more hours.
