@gthomsenuw37 Yes they do! They’ve got a nice selection as well as some stellar pots in their gift shop!

@patrickk_harper Those plants are so pretty Patrick! I will definitely have to check it out. Do they sell plants at the Conservatory too? I am in the market for some new plant friends.

First visit to Friends of the Conservatory’s stellar conservatory in the books! Their ‘Cactus Room’ is now one of my favorite places in Seattle. Hope y’all’s first week of #ENVIR491 has started off nicely, best of luck on your research & internship endeavors!

@enviranna @NESToolLibrary Feeling this too! Not meeting those personal goals I set for the annotated bib, but trying to set a time every week that I can spend working on it. I think also maybe choosing a new cafe/study spot each time will help me stay focused and engaged with researching.

Excited to do some hands-on work at the @NESToolLibrary tomorrow and really get this internship started! Not going to lie though, I’m feeling a bit slow on the research side of things with the lack of in-person classes. What has #ENVIR491 been doing to stay on track? 🧐

@oliviatjohnson Olivia! So good to hear orientation has started off well! Is there a specific part of the curriculum you’re excited to start teaching about? Good luck with your first week of classes! #ENVIR491

After my first week on the island I have learned so much from my orientation and from my lovely coworkers! Excited to start teaching next week! #envir491 #environmentaleducation

@fsstrz @SnoKingWC That sounds really cool! Did anything surprise you throughout your training about water quality that you weren’t aware of before? Good luck with the training! #ENVIR491

Finished water quality training prerequisites, next step is hands-on training this week! 💧🔍 @SnoKingWC #ENVIR491 #POEcap

Really fascinating talk by @lill_williamson on improving waste management and recycling nationwide, highlighting the adoption of a circular method of production! #POEcap

Really inspired by @SylasKasten ‘s lightning talk about his research and internship surrounding geocaching and its usage in environmental education! Stellar job! #POEcap

Wow! Poster session B, y’all had some really engaging and fascinating topics! Really inspired by y’all’s approach to quality research and impressive knowledge surrounding your specific topics. #POEcap

@belcoronaa How do you hope your research and findings be implemented with the Washington State Department of Natural Resources? Thanks for sharing your research and internship experience! #POEcap

Really inspired by @ClarkeMargaux ‘s research and internship experience surrounding silviculture and its impact on PNW forestry in breakout room 1! What do you think should be prioritized moving forward with sustainable forestry measures? #POEcap

@yseo_uw Thanks for sharing your internship experience and research with NOAA analyzing Stellar sea lions in room 16! Were you surprised by your results? Did you expect there to be a more definite correlation due to SST? #POEcap

Sandy Tena is presenting in breakout room 14 about meeting ecological restoration goals while also focusing on justice within the field of restoration. I was wondering if there was something that surprised you in your findings of the surveys you conducted? #POEcap

@IliakisKarena thanks for sharing about the impacts of logging on riparian forests in breakout room 10! What would you say surprised you the most during your research and through your internship with the WA Department of Natural Resources? #POEcap

Currently in room 9 listening to @caseygilson490 ‘s presentation surrounding recycling initiatives in the Southwest. What do you think these mentioned incentives should look like to elicit more engagement in expanding recycling? #POEcap

@jdayuw is currently presenting in room 4 about educational outreach surrounding the detrimental impact of single-use plastics. What do you think these educational toolkits should include to help educate students/individuals on the concern surrounding single-use plastics? #POEcap

@sabbah_sundus is currently presenting on the collaboration with tribes and prioritizing Indigenous ecological knowledge in room 16. Why did you choose to study those two specific marine conservation areas in Hawai’i and Canada? Thanks for sharing your research! #POEcap

Poster session B has got so many research topics I wanna visit! Really excited to hear more about your all’s internships and research work! Also congrats to poster session A, y’all were inspiring! #POEcap

Mia Lawson-Henze’s research regarding composting efforts in schools was really fascinating, especially on how this increases environmental awareness among students. Thanks for sharing in breakout room 14! #POEcap

@jayce_knerr Thanks for sharing your research about increasing outreach for environmental groups through social media in breakout room 13! “Depicting animals in their most natural state is pertinent to how people interact with them.” #POEcap
