Sweat Mountain: An Environmental Impact Study

Since we have such a diverse project group, in our postings we will try to write a recap of all our members' progress. The lichen study is coming along nicely, and we already have two sets of data collection. We're putting the finishing touches on our project organization, then all we will have to do is collect data! What we are focusing on is to find in which cardinal direction lichens grow best on a tree. The leaf person has finally figured out what to base her project on. She is working with pigments on artificially lit leaves versus the ones covered in tin foil. The last member, who's working with trees, is in the proccess of mapping out a nature trail in the park. She is absent today, so we don't quite know how far along she is.
