Walkabout

This post is for June 23rd, but a lack of internet prevented posting until now.

In the morning the newly-named “Veg Crew” wandered around our study site taking waypoints and filling out  our data dictionary attributes for different patches of vegetation – natives, invasives, mixed  patches, etc.  We got to walk along a beautiful beach and check out a lot of cool plants including one that produced a thick latex when I cut a sample (I know all about that now, thanks Dr. Fink!).

After lunch we climbed a hill in our study site to check out what our aerial imagery will look like, and get a better idea of the sort of thing we are trying to model. The view was awesome and it was a really clear day, I will upload a 360 panorama later.

We got to watch two launches of the Gatewing X100 that took images of the western part of the study site.

Happy Friday!
