So I know it's been a long time since I have wrote a blog post and well there has been a lot going on in my life right now and well I guess you all want to know about what's going on in my life. So here goes nothing. I have been training for the past month and we only have like 5 days until we leave on our first project. Our first project is in the lovely city of Lakeside,CA, which is 20 miles out of San Diego and we will be working with three organizations: Lakeside's River Park Conservancy, Blue Sky Ranch and Silverwood Sanctuary. We will be camping for 4 weeks at Blue Sky Ranch, which is a community that focuses on environmental and sustainable practices. We will be learning about composting, using our resources wisely, and many other practical things that will change the future of the world. I am extremely excited for our first project. I have never been camping before so this will be an interesting experience but there is a shower and electricity so I have two things that I need in order to live my life. :) We have to use all eco-friendly products including shampoo, toothpaste, and other toileteries because they do not want any toxins seeping into the beautiful San Diego River, which we will be helping restore. The Silverwood Sanctuary is part of the Audubon of San Diego. We will be doing fire prevention things such as brushing, taking out easy flammable targets and doing fuel reduction as well. I learned how to chainsaw yesterday and I now know how to cut down a tree. Tomorrow is my second day of field training and I get to do the big stuff. So here's some pictures of my time here!:)
