The last two days have marked the initial stages of our research. We have begun identifying the flora in the area of the headwaters that borders the River's Edge Housing development. After two days we have identified 32 species and are excited to help promote preservation of the natural biodiversity in this area. We are working in collaboration with a fine research team (Women in the Woods) who are dedicated to collecting data on the distribution and composition of all of the plant species in this designated area. After spending the morning in the woods with them, our team is confident in their techniques in data collection. We are excited to continue our research on these species in an effort to provide facts that we anticipate local homeowners will find inviting and helpful. The collection of this information is the first step toward the creation of our guidebook.
Overall, we are extremely impressed by the enthusiasm and support that we have received from the local communities. Each contact that we have made has had a plethora of knowledge and insight into additional contacts that we should make. This positive response ends the week with a rewarding feeling in that our efforts will prove fruitful.

What a nice artifact to create - the guide book will be of value to homeowners and others well into the future! I look forward to seeing the results.
