We started off this beautiful morning by going out in groups of 2 or 3 people to do phenology and mark points with the GPS. We get faster and more efficient at this everyday. Kevin Kotts from the MN Dept. of Natural Resources came and talked to us at lunch. He told us about his work restoring and conserving grasslands and wetlands in west central Minnesota. We learned a lot! After lunch, some people went out to mark more points with the GPS and the majority of us went out to P2 to continue flagging and twist tying flowering plants. We worked hard until late afternoon, and then called it a day.
This plant at Hegg Lake has 13 flowering heads!
Hattie helped us flag and twist tie at P2 today!
