Week 27

  This week one thing we did was talk about the Provo River Delta Restoration Project, which is going on near our house. Our dad told us how it was something that was being planned back when he was in graduate school almost 20 years ago. One of the reasons it was going to happen was because of the endangered June Sucker fish. Mom and Dad told us about how endangered species are one of the main ways that areas can get protection and funding for restoration because of the way the laws are set up. They told us about the spotted owl in the old growth forests in Oregon and Washington. We rode our bikes out to see the Delta Project. They have brought in truckloads of rocks and boulders as they are creating the delta. We are going to go out every week to check it out. It is supposed to "open" in early March.
