Amirah's John Muir Award

We have been clearing an invasive species of plant called Willow Herb. While I was picking them I found a really big worm. At this time of year there is a lot of Cuckoo Spit on the plants. Inside there are frog hoppers and the spit keeps them moist and makes sure they don’t dry out. Ranger Greig caught a frog and she was telling us that if you hold it for too long it will start to get warm and they can’t because they are cold-blooded. Anisa, Alisha, and I were planting wild flowers and Anisa had to dig a hole for Alisha and I because we couldn’t do it. Anisa, Alisha and I were doing a bio-blitz and caught a brown lipped banded snail. Ranger Greig told us a story about a dog named Stickeen and his amazing adventures with John Muir. My favourite wild activity all year was making fires.
