Day 11: Spending Time with Jacob Land Bank

(Our favorite little silly goofy guy)

By Akira, Athena, and Uma

We slept in today, set off at around 9:30, and made our way to Mount Grant to pick weeds. We were greeted by our favorite goofball, Jacob from the San Juan County Conservation Land Bank as his expert volunteers, Bob and Barry. In today’s hot sun, we went after our greatest enemies, and the island’s greatest threat, Thistle and Tansy Ragwort. They have made it on our wanted list because of their prickly personality and invasive nature. Also, there were some cool bugs like… LADYBUGS 🙂 After a short battle, we stopped for lunch, but in the process…ran…out…of…WATER (oh no) !!!!!!!! After our short break, we ventured out to continue the saga. In the end, we “harvested” two bags of #weeds. The rest of the day was filled with working on our projects, cleaning, playing, and having a reunion with Tom. Here’s some pictures. Bye.

PS: weeds suck
