Service Learning: Day One

This was my first visit to the Caloosa Girl's Scout Camp and I must say, it was a very nice visit. I really enjoyed viewing all the nice houses and trails along the way to my destination, also, I noticed that the grass was really green on this side of Fort Myers. I figured there must be more nutrients in the water, but either way, it sure makes the landscaping look really nice. During this trip, I learned a lot about what a forest ranger does and why their job is so important. Basically, they help Florida maintain it's natural order, which is very important for sustainability. Overall, my experience was very nice, I really enjoyed the ranger's humor throughout his speeches; it makes learning a lot easier! In addition, I am glad that I was able to make a difference by chopping down some invasive plants today. I sure got a good workout!
