Whole day river trip

what I did well?
I think that I did a pretty good job avoiding rocks, sweepers and strainers. Matthew and I didn’t flip our canoe, we got stuck 2-4 times but we jiggled our way though it.

What I need to improve?
I need to work on paddling with a better pace.

What I really enjoyed?
I enjoyed going through the rapids. I also enjoyed seeing the bus and taking breaks.

What I found difficult? Why?
I found padding for a long time difficult, because it made by arm and shoulder tired.

Would I recommend canoe trip in the futur? Why/why not?
I would recommend this for the futur because it was a fun experience and I think everyone should try this once in their life.

The Most Important thing about wetlands in my opinion

In my personal opinion I think that carbon mitigation. Reducing carbon reduces pollution. Pollution is one of the biggest problems facing our planet today. Wetlands help balance the amount of carbon in our air, too much carbon is bad and too little carbon is also bad. But wetlands help keep a balance so that there is just enough carbon in the atmosphere.

What is interpretation?

By definition interpretation is the action of explaining the meaning of something. But interpretation is much more than just explaining the meaning, interpretation is the revelation of meanings and relationships using many different types of objects, illustrative media, and by firsthand experience. Freeman Tildien- was an American writer who wrote a book on the 6 principals of interpretation. He traveled for many years observing the ways of interpretation in national parks. Freeman Tilden (1957)
