Yesterday we had a presentation on Ecology by Oak Hammock Marsh. We did something called
The ecology challenge.
We were put in pairs and had to go to every station and answer questions. There were 4 sections, aquatic ecology, soils and land use , wild life, and forestry. In the wetlands section we had to identify the healthy and unhealthy parts of a wetland. We found that draining wetlands and cutting down trees are unhealthy.
Forestry: we learned to count the rings of a tree and find the age of the tree.
Soils and land use: we had to measure the soil.
Wildlife: we learned to identify animal foot prints, different bird calls, scat identification, and animal identification.
Aquatic ecology: we learned to identify invertebrates and the structure of a fish.
Some other things we learned were:
Ecology is the study of the relationship between living things.
A wetland is usually 2 meters deep.
