To describe it quickly it was a summer of eight projects across Colorado in nine weeks; it was a summer of driving 4,100 miles; it was a summer of learning how to sample and identify plants; and most outstandingly, it was a summer of challenging and rewarding field work. Although working on multiple projects was confusing at times, I was able to see so much of the state of Colorado and work with multiple people. Working with CNHP has given me the tools and skills to perform vegetation analyses and sampling methods in my career for the rest of my life. This summer I worked with eight different vegetation monitoring techniques, and I am now able to recognize over 40 plant genera. I have grown an appreciation for the plant diversity around me and the role plant\u2019s play in ecosystem function. Here are some photos that represent the amazing views I had this summer.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center\">\nI had incredible mountain views.<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both;text-align: center\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5904\" src=\"https:\/\/cnhp.colostate.edu\/cnhpblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2018\/11\/Slide1.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cnhp.colostate.edu\/cnhpblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2018\/11\/Slide1.jpg 400w, https:\/\/cnhp.colostate.edu\/cnhpblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2018\/11\/Slide1-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center\">\nI swam in water holes in southeast Colorado.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center\">\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both;text-align: center\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5905\" src=\"https:\/\/cnhp.colostate.edu\/cnhpblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2018\/11\/Tyler_swimming_c.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cnhp.colostate.edu\/cnhpblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2018\/11\/Tyler_swimming_c.jpg 400w, https:\/\/cnhp.colostate.edu\/cnhpblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2018\/11\/Tyler_swimming_c-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center\">\nI hiked in red sandstone canyons<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both;text-align: center\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5906\" src=\"https:\/\/cnhp.colostate.edu\/cnhpblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2018\/11\/Tyler_sandstone_rjr.png\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cnhp.colostate.edu\/cnhpblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2018\/11\/Tyler_sandstone_rjr.png 400w, https:\/\/cnhp.colostate.edu\/cnhpblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2018\/11\/Tyler_sandstone_rjr-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center\">\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center\">\n&nbsp;I saw wildlife.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center\">\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both;text-align: center\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5907\" src=\"https:\/\/cnhp.colostate.edu\/cnhpblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2018\/11\/Tyler_snake.png\" width=\"400\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cnhp.colostate.edu\/cnhpblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2018\/11\/Tyler_snake.png 400w, https:\/\/cnhp.colostate.edu\/cnhpblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2018\/11\/Tyler_snake-300x150.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center\">\nI saw the world from above.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center\">\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both;text-align: center\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5908\" src=\"https:\/\/cnhp.colostate.edu\/cnhpblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2018\/11\/Tyler_JECanyon.png\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cnhp.colostate.edu\/cnhpblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2018\/11\/Tyler_JECanyon.png 400w, https:\/\/cnhp.colostate.edu\/cnhpblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2018\/11\/Tyler_JECanyon-300x169.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/div>\n<p>\nI don\u2019t want to make it seem like I was not working.
