Today was a great day in the field. It was the first day of coring for the interns and they did a fantastic job. Everyone was doing something, holding the corer, removing plant material, holding something else. I think they all get the idea now and can operate as a well-oiled machine when we core again next week. A few things to think about: don’t lose the Vice Grips Phil, make sure not to wear waders again, and bring more water. All in all, I think we all had a great day out there and I think we’ll all be ready to go again next week.
