Durango Nature studies Habitat Assessment Project
Durango Nature Studies Habitat Assessment Project Reflection
Summary: In the habitat assessment project we went to durango nature studies and conducted surveys about the populations of leopard frogs and bullfrogs we also did water quality tests and veg plots to determine the biodiversity on the DNS property. We then wrote objective technical papers based on the data gathered and studied including an executive summary,species overviews, graphs and charts of our data along side our recommendations on how to moniter and manage the DNS property.
Reflection: I was very Pleased with the outcome of this project I learned alot abou the eco-systems of colorado and what is in our ponds and rivers that make them function the way they do. I also learned about how to write a technical objective scietifily written paper and that was new for me I had never written in depth objectivly so I learned alot about consturuct my papers in that way.
