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.”
