So....what was this trip all about?

Reflection on my journey to Nova Scotia....Have you ever thought what would happen if we lost these .....a white tail deer,

the Atlantic seacoast that host a ton of living organism in this habitat

Frogs eggs....

Big words come to my mind as I reflect back to everything we have done here...

Scruffing the vole

A pile of snowshoe hare poop

(thats a pile of 100)

This long journey hopefully will answer these questions:

So, why catch, trap and release voles, chipmunks and mice, and then also count snowshoe hare poop, and deer poop? Why look for the field damage signs? Why did we have to repeat these investigations in two different sites? Tick drag (alot of us have never even heard of it)?
We did agree that its for SCIENCE - but bottom line, my one major goal is to connect this to the big word - CONSERVATION. Conservation is a big word that we have to discuss and think about.

In your own words, not the dictionary, what do you think conservation is, taking into account what I have done over the last two weeks.

My last blog for the night! I am packing up and getting on that plane in a few hours. BUT, I will be checking in on Sunday!

All the best - onwards we go boys and girls!
