Reflection/Evaluation
Quiet Trails had not met for many months so much of the meeting time involved sharing information with each other . The ethnobotany class was both interesting, provided a lengthy list of resources and would be a good place to visit. E and J discussions are both challenging and good. . Sierra club educational event was excellent, but timing to hold it was not good as it was at the end of finals week so students and staff did not attend. (1.5 hrs.)
