Having returned to Leaves and Lizards two years after last visiting, I was happy to see that the reforestation project had grown up from scrub that looked very like some areas in South Dallas to a true tropical forest. Really some good work is being done here.
Hector and I were able to start off running from the gate today, sampling 3/4 the number of quadrats we had sampled in 2008 in just one day. Our work will be cut out for us still, though, because we are now able to really begin sampling the property. Same goes for my own little project about biodiversity; after practicing twice today, I am feeling very capable of being able to establish a good baseline upon which further projects can build. More on this later, as the project really begins.
For now, it's bedtime for this old man before a long day again tomorrow.
Cheers!
