Tumalo Week 3: Solitude & Reflections


                  Tumalo Week 3: Solitude & Reflections


On week three we had gone to a new location in the valley downstream from our main study site. For reflection we were to use the Bridge Creek Fire and its impact on the valley, learning about the riparian zone, or a little on the importance of the valley for the Bend Community. We were to use these as a backdrop for our writing. Students chose a wide variety of subjects to focus on. We sat away from others in our own space capturing the essence of Tumalo Creek and its importance to us.

Jessi wrote about the differences between our normal study site and the spot downstream. She quoted “Rather than the fresh pine I smell the perfume of the grass, river and bushes. There is much more grass and a variety vegetation around.”
