Hey Everyone, I chose environmental science for a few reasons but, to be honest the most influential reason I signed up to the EST program was my previous career choice. I had been a framer and worked outdoors 90% of the time for almost nine years. I enjoyed working outdoors very much. I also have always been drawn to nature so, I found a way to combine them both. the environment is inspiring to me for the fact that it is so versatile and unpredictable. I remember working a job surrounded by 60 ft pines for as far as you can see. When it was so hot outside that breathing was hard I would get excited; as I watched the treetops flow in a domino effect I knew a cool breeze was coming. I used the term unpredictable because on another job that same domino effect brought agony because a near by brush fire provided billowing clouds of smoke you can taste for days.

What I care about in the environment isn't any one specific issue or infatuation. The fact that our environment effects us all and will carry on the effect of peoples neglect to its preservation to our children. It may sound cliche but, in my lifetime I already don't get to see the springs at their clearest or the Halifax River at it's bluest. Imagine what the simple things would look like 50 years from now if more people like us decide not to get involved.
Oh and I'm finding it difficult to find an IRP that isn't too broad or original. I was wondering if anyone has an idea of how I can study a fish population within a certain area of the river or perhaps even in a small lake system like the ones in my neighborhood?
