Reflection of sophomore inspire week

This week has been a good week to prepare us for our junior link projects. Not only was it nice to get prepared but it was also nice to get out of the usual and switch it up a little. I enjoyed being able to pick something that we actually wanted to do. Trails 2000 was a good choice because I am a bike rider and it just shows what people have to do to put in some of those trails. On Wednesday we went to nature studies and we got to asses the trails they had out there. When we finished assessing we got to point out spots that may need some work and we got to go out and try and fix some of those issues. We also were able to make a report on the trails conditions and we get to turn that into nature studies. On thursday we were able to go out to a recently built trail and we got to make it better than it was. Even though we all just wanted to ride our bikes on the trail I think it was good that we kept at it till the end because it shows us how much work goes into making trails. It can take a full day just to maintain and get a trial ready! And the trail we did today was actually pretty short but it still took a full day. In the future I would like to have a full week to work with a organization and then maybe two days to put together a video.
