short work week

Bluno celebrated Thanksgiving last week.

We worked on three different projects in the span of two days. On Tuesday our group was split into two groups. One group worked in the Salvage yard with Abby (an awesome Presidio employee) and the other half of the team worked with two fantastic Forestry guys, Ben and Chris, to weed the bases of newly planted trees. The week before the groups was split up to work in the salvage yard with Abby so the group that didn't work with Abby was able to see the magnificent place known as the salvage yard. The reason for weeding the newly planted trees was to allow the irrigation system to water a larger area in order for the tree's root to expand.

On Wednesday we worked with the natural resources department. The morning was spent pulling out roots of Blackberry bushes at El Polin Springs with Brett and his intern Jason. We were able to learn about the history of the area. In the afternoon we worked at Lobos creek with Iris Clearwater. We moved sand that had been blown onto the walking path and stairway.
