Wilbur's First Day

Here's a brief photo essay showing Wilbur Dubon's first day as an environmental intern.



We had a little mangrove planting in mind for an erosion control project. Adrian, Wilbur and I went out to gather mangrove propagules.



Mangrove propagules are pretty easy to get right now and we had 1,500 in about 45 minutes.



A test plot from last year had shown good promise for sediment retention.



Adrian showed Wilbur the finer points of propagule planting....



...and despite the rain and heat, Wilbur was off to the races.




1500 mangrove propagules are now in place to slow erosion and provide habitat.

That's a great first day. Well done Mr. Dubon!
