Rutgers University
Well the final count is in…
23 people
3 completely rainy cold days
1 gale blowing miserable day
1 clivus (cletus)
and NO TV!!!!!
The weather may have been cruddy, but I think this was such a unique trip because of the weather. Tony (the caretaker) said he had only seen the water that high 3 times. We really got to see the marsh ecology morph to the changing conditions. Wednesday we counted almost 30 bird species on the island, and the peregrine even picked off birds right in front of some of you!
I think hands on courses like this one, that have gradually been disappearing from college curriculums are essential for so much more than just academics. The course ties in so many different aspects of ecology, real hands on research, and time with your peers and professors to just kick around ideas that you may not have thought of.
David and Julie, you two were wonderful, not only as professors and leaders but also as mentors. You were always one step ahead, and that is so important in this type of setting.
Tom… couldn’t have done it without you, thanks for keeping track of everyone and in general double-checking everything. And who can forget “Tom, TJ and the Goodyear Band” your musical talent and whimsical lyrics make me giggle when I think back to your stellar performances during the trip.
Jim and I look forward to reading your comments, and don’t forget to check out the pictures from the trip on the right. Drop by, or send an email if you are going to be in the area and want to stop by, we could always use a bit more knowledge.
Good luck to everyone... but remember “the lesson is not over until you share it with someone and maybe the whole world” ~Doc Locandro

I'm not much of a talker, so I'll just say that I had a good time and Sedge was the highlight of the two week course.
Sedge Island, or rather Barnegat Bay is my favorite place in New Jersey, I have been lucky enough to have been able to stay at the Sedge house numerous times. Every time I learn, get exited and see new and fascinating things. To see the bat flooded and experience that was amazing; it was seeing the bay in a whole new light. The conservation zone is so key to keeping parts of New Jersey open and undeveloped. The field techniques class was amazing in its contents, its peers and its teachers. Many great memories were created and I did learn that wind and rain do not really bother me so perhaps it is true I do want to work in the field. Thanks for everything I learnt and experiences.
