Homework #8 Activity 2
I took my a few hikes over a number of different days. I took what I think are some really cool microscopic photos of organisms living in water runoff from a horse stable in a park near my house. I had difficult identifying them, and I think it would be really useful if iNaturalist had a platform for identifying microscopic organisms. The rest of my pictures I took in between classes on the UC Berkeley campus. It's crazy how much wild biodiversity exists in a place as heavily trafficked as the Cal campus. I think the campus' biodiversity is a testament to how much the administration and students care to not disturb and/or displace wild plants and animals around campus.
