Today more students came out and decided to lend a hand in the planting process. Which helped speed things along dramatically. We got about twice as many planted as we would have the two of us. I think we are about at 30 plants deep into the process, more info tomorrow.

Today was another day of digging up slough sedge. Which we will continue doing so until we meet the requirements. Due to the upcoming holiday our production may slow down. As of now we are at 40 plants. More updates soon.

After two weeks off from school it was time to get back to work. We've continued to dig out and replant the slough sedge. Its already been a long process but seems to be going along well. The total of plants as of today is 60. We need more students to come help. Four kids doesn't seem to cut it, at this rate we wont meet the deadline.

We stepped up the process this week. We had two of us digging up slough sedge and two of us planting. We replanted approx twenty each day, the final count this week is 100. We've also been discussing with Mr. Heyen about having kids come help us on a Saturday in the near future, to continue speeding up the process. Things are starting to come together.

Today we began shoveling debris off the side of the baseball field and spreading it throughout the embankment of the land, in high hopes to spread seed. Just another way of trying to get the planting process running smoothly.

Today we continued shoveling the soil off the field and into the wetland, this process will take at least the next couple days.
December 19th 2009;
Today we finished up with the debris, and started a new step. We have a large amount of bark chips that we are going to use along the sides of the wetland in order to control some erosion. We will continue this project through out the time we have left before break.
