Friday in the forest...
Today, we ventured into the rainforest one last time as an Earthwatch team. We continued to measure trees. I was working with an Australian woman, and a college professor from Albany, NY. Our task was to once again use the clinometer to determine the height of the largest hardwood trees in the forest. While I stayed on task and managed to record measurements for almost 50 trees, we occasionally got distracted by forest creatures, like this stick bug below. There is something unique about the stick bugs here... I think they like me because I keep finding them on me. After we hiked back to the research station, some of us went for a swim in the river. One last night to exchange stories, then we are heading out tomorrow.
