Week 3 has been a hard but productive week. We have made a lot of progress on various plants such as Russian Thistle, Smilo, Iceplant, and grasses like foxtail and clover. I have become a lot better at being able to identify these plants and properly remove them. On Monday I got to experience what it was like to clean and sharpen the tools that we work with. Since it rained we were not able to go out in the park, so we stayed inside and worked on our tools. My mentor also let us run out into the rain and it was pretty fun even though we were all soaked afterward. Throughout the rest of the week, I helped out my mentor's most experienced intern by helping him with his section down by the tide pools. I also attended Weed Warriors this week, and have pulled a ton of Smio off of various hillsides around the park!
