AUDUBON ARIZONA x 'ALL DAY'
If you might recall about a month ago, Becky, a member of my cohort the Doran Scholars, forward me an email for an internship opportunity at Audubon Arizona. To cut things short, I applied for the internship, became a finalist, and got the position.
Audubon Arizona is a non-profit organization focusing emphasis on bird watching and the environment. I am responsible for lecturing and educating children about our environment, wildlife, the fundamentals of going ‘green’, recycling, and the importance of not littering.
Today we went ‘pond dipping’ which is a method to conduct an observation of water quality. Our goal was to temporary collect any living bugs or insects living in the pond. By doing so, we were able to critic the cleaness of the water based on the bugs or insects whom live there. I had such a great time. I love children, they mean the world to me. Can you believe I slipped into the pond three times? It was amazing how slippery the gravel around the riparian was. I probably pulled out about six children that had also slipped into the pond simultaneously.
