Sunday saw both the let-up of rain and our hard core Service Learning switch get thrown to “on.” We began with a morning of orientation about the ecology and management of the system and by noon were hitting our annual surveys in support of Woodlands Conservancy’s long-term conservation efforts.

The swamp ecosystem has a diverse range of animal life and some of the biggest bugs I have ever seen. Many of these bugs I have never seen before. The picture below shows an ant the size of my finger nail.

Today was our first day at woodland’s conservancy doing restoration work. It was a long day but very rewarding. Kinda of like the swamp ecosystem.
Our hard work was greatly rewarded with an exceptionally beautiful sunset.
Sunset at the swamp. A rewarding sight after a solid day of work.
