Eastside Hill neighborhood, Eau Claire, Wi
For the last day of the trip we stayed within Eau Claire and surveyed the East Hill Neighborhood. We were joined with Dr. Paul Kaldjian, another UWEC geography professor. The class split into groups of two or three and took different sections of the neighborhood and recorded the land cover of backyards of the homes in the area. The class was recording the number of gardens in our selected sections of the neighborhood. We recorded the size of the gardens that we observed and also if they were a vegetable garden or flower bed. Lastly, we also recorded the species of new trees that were planted on our assigned streets. It was a great way to end field seminar.
