You Will Never Guess What We Are Getting Ready To Do Dr. Jay Bolin and His Invasive Plants and Animals Focus Group Eating Kudzu By Rafaello I went to a unique Discovery Group on Tuesday. It combined poison ivy and deep-frying. (No, we didn't deep-fry the ivy). The discovery session was called "Invasive Species and Biodiversity: Eating the Plant that ate the South!" and was taught by Dr. Jay Bolin, a biology professor here at Catawba College. Dr. Bolin started out the session by talking about specific invasive species , what they are, and how they work. He then told us we were going to go pick some kudzu .

Whew! It's Dark Out There at Night. Campers Ready to Brave the Night and Enjoy Nature After Dark By Jocelyn On Tuesday night, Ms.Lanier  took out two groups who wanted to go hiking in complete darkness, and it was really fun being out there because you were with your peers and really bonding well. This activity shows that you are building a strong relationship because you're out there in the nature preserve at night together. Everyone enjoyed being out there, because they knew someone was in-front of them and really didn't need to use a flashlight to see. You can use the red light if you were really scared of being out there, but no one had to use that at all in our group. Back Safe and Sound from the Night Hike and Ready for My Blogging Focus Group
