Lewis Center Wildlands Rehab Study Setup: Day 2


Day 2: Tuesday 11/8/2011

Weather was perfect again; no wind, enough clouds so the sun was not to hot, a high of about 60 F.

Dr. Ken Lair, Jackie Lindgren, Matt Huffine, David Pike, about 20+/- JROTC students from a flight composed of juniors and sophomores, along with a handful other students that joined periodically throughout the day worked together to complete all the tasks started during Day 1 on Monday 11/7/2011 which included
  • Hauling down and distributing most of the remaining plants, finishing auguring out and cleaning out the remaining holes.
  • Providing each plant with its prescribed treatment by plot location (innoculum, teabag and/or zeolite column).
  • Watering each planting location before and after planting.
  • Affixing a rabbit guard and bamboo pole above each planting.
Besides completing the steps outlined above, ones required for setting up the test plots that required 1 gallon plants, this group finished the day doing quality control for the work that was completed during the first 2 days of work.
