tynehead park field trip


Oh oh oh I was so busy talking about my wisdom teeth and whatnot during my last post that I didn't even mention my field trip or anything. Yeah so on the same day that I got my wisdom teeth removed (last saturday) I also went on a biology field trip and we went to Tynehead Park which is in Surrey and we planted trees!!! We learned a lot about the background about how the west side of the park is nice and everything but the east side is shit because of the way people were treating it decades ago and now we're trying to restore it. I gotta admit, at first it was kinda fun planting these trees because I've never planted trees before but then as a couple hours passed it got super tiring and I was just standing there poking my shovel at the dirt/manure and I didn't want to do anything anymore. Hahaha but I think I planted 5 trees??? Actually I should say 5 PLANTS not TREES because 2 of them were tiny shrubs hahaha. So there were some benefits came out of that day!! I contributed to restoring the park, I made new friends, and I (kinda) had fun. I think most of the time we were just laughing. Here are some pics!

Some trees (I think these are alders???) yeah they just look like sticks I guess bc the leaves fell off bc it's autumn
My first tree that I ever planted!!! I believe it's a sitka spruce ^_^
We needed to take pics of us with plants for the assignment afterwards so we took selfies hehe I hope this is acceptable idk if this was what my prof had in mind hahaha
Here's a bad pic of me plus a tree
