I think that the field trip to the Bolsa Chica Conservancy was great.I enjoyed learning about the coastal wetlands and the different kinds of animals and plants that are located in the Bolsa Chica Conservancy.When we got to Bolsa Chica Conservancy,the students were separated into two groups.My sister and I actually made two new friends from Golden West College.I do not remember their names,but they are Vietnamese,and are very nice and easy to talk to.We first started talking to them because we were the last group of people that walked toward the Bolsa Chica wetland.After that,my sister and I talked to them about many random things while on the trip.The group that my sister and I were in got to go toured the wetland first. The tour guide of my group was pretty nice.She explained the information clearly and understandably.I remember she told us that the Bolsa Chica Conservancy has about 1,200 acres of wetlands and 118 acres of upland habitat.She also said that the Bolsa Chica Conservancy is one of the largest wetlands in California.While we were on a trail,we saw a lizard and a rabbit.At first I did not see the rabbit because it camouflaged so well with the brush.Later on,the tour guide showed us this ice plant, which kind of looked like it was covered with ice.I found this plant to be interesting because of the look-alike ice that covered up the plant.The tour guide told us that this plant is an invading plant because when it grows on a soil,it would get all the water from the soil and would not leave any for any native plants around it.She said the way to get rid of it is to put a bag over the plant,so that it would not have any oxygen to breath.However,this plant has a very large root,so even though the plant dies,it might grow back up again because of the deep root under the soil.The tour guide also said that the wetlands provide habitat for migrating,wintering,and breeding birds,produce oxygen,provide natural flood control, provide homes for endangered species,and serve as a safe place for native plants and animals to stay.We also got a chance to see the mud where there were many white birds.The tour guide said that the mud provides a good food place for the birds. After we finished walking on the five-mile trail,we went to the environment groups’ booths,so that we could learn about what each group’s purpose were.They were giving away free materials,such as brochure and mouse pad,so I got some.We also got to go see the live animals,which could be found in the Bolsa Chica Conservancy,in the glass cases inside this building.I got to see many animals,such as,fish,snakes,and spiders.All the snakes and spiders that I saw were scary to me.The thing that stood out to me the most was the squirrel’s fur.When I touched the fur,it felt kind of like my cat’s fur,except that my cat’s fur is softer and smoother.After we finished, my sister and I decided to go eat at Jack in the Box.When we got there,I ordered large natural fries and a medium soft drink.My sister ordered seasoned curly fries and strawberry smoothie.There were not many people at the restaurant.There were only four other students from Cerritos College that went to eat there.We spent about forty-five minutes eating there.Around 12:45PM,my sister and I started to head back to the meeting place.We actually wanted to go to the beach and take some pictures, but we did not have time left for that.When we got to the meeting place,we headed back to the bus.Overall,I think that this field trip was great.I got to exercise by walking on a five-mile trail and just relax and chill with my sister.However,I wished that the weather would have cooperated.
