I thought I knew nature. I grew up in a rural area on a large patch of land and thought I had it covered: the birds, bees, deer, coyotes, frogs, turtles, a few ponds, lots of trees and a huge garden.
My perception was absolutely wonderful, until this past weekend. Led by our fabulous professor, 13 eager-minded students headed out in to the "bush" for three intense but enriching days to begin our collection of wetland invertebrates.
Wow, did I have a wake-up call.
