Went with some of my friends for a trip. While there my friend pointed out miners lettuce. This lettuce used to be eaten by miners and was commonly used as salad greens. Due to this my friends and I picked a few and tried them out. Ultimately to me, I thought it tasted okay as it tasted just as weird as it looked, a wet and cold grass. Still such an interesting experience.

Castle Rock state park on a cloudy winter day contained a cool mist with the smell of wet dirt and moss. A quietness as if a shroud of silence had covered over every noise and a fog that was as mysteriousness and eerie as something out of a horror movie.

A few years back I went to lake Utica with my friends. While there I had swam from island to island while my friends paddled a canoe. Eventually we stopped at a small cove along the lake shore. To my surprise, as I was standing in knee high water small catfish swam up to me. They found me to be friendly and vice versa as they let me pet their soft slimy skin as they swam in circles around my legs. This lasted for about an hour before my friends and I decided to continue down the lake shore in search of more islands to stand on and explore.

One summer a few years back my family and I took a vacation to Waikiki beach. While at the beach shore one day I decided to go snorkeling within the enclosed beach area. I had swam all the way out to the sea wall that separated the beach area waters from the rest of the ocean. While snorkeling I noticed a grey mass quickly approaching from below. I panicked as the grey mass drew near. Then my eyes fixated on the mass and was in shock and excited to find that it was a green sea turtle. This turtle had somehow got past the sea wall and within the enclosed beach area. I was baffled and excited as I snorkeled alongside a sea turtle before it then disappeared off into the blue abyss that is the ocean.

I love watching the sunset every night. There is something so wholesome about it.

When I was 9, my father and I went to Bishop, California for a camping/fishing trip. In this trip, he would teach me how to fish the streams, make fires, and other fun skills that I would be able to apply to my everyday life. I could even teach this stuff to future generations. We would continue this trip annually for the next 8 years! I learned so much.

Rainstorms tend to wreak havoc on my joints (due to the barometric pressure changing) but I still absolutely adore storms and wind and fog and rain. They are both so incredibly vital to the ecosystem and to human health

The smell of redwood trees is something I don't see many people talking about when they talk about redwoods, but I have a very vivid smell that I associate to the redwoods. I always felt when I was younger that I could smell the water of the fog, when we used to have more of it.

Smelling the damp scent of wet wood as you walk in the forest after a rain shower and the light peaks through the trees in bursts of color, showing the varying degrees of red in a redwood and the feeling of delicate warmth.

The smell of rain in the forest at Science Camp when I was in elementary school filled me with a sense of wonder and appreciation for the environment around me and encouraged me to want to promote the conservation and sustainability of the forests.

This summer, I got to see the most beautiful night sky i've ever seen. I was in Puerto Rico, in it's island of Vieques. I could clearly see the Milky Way and many constellations up in the night sky. I can't really see the starts living in the city, so that was a very memorable expereince!

I was sitting by myself backpacking with a group near a river. I just remember the sound of the river helping me zone out. Until I saw it start to snow and was just content to be in the moment.

Bears or mountain lions. Things you’re not used to seeing that make you remember what we need to protect is truly so deep.

I love petting manta rays in tide pools. Their soft slippery skin is always an interesting sensation, even through the minor fear of their tail (which I know is trimmed in most tanks) and once I got to pet baby leopard sharks who were in the same tank as the manta rays, and I'll never forget the cold water contrasted with the soft soft skin of both creatures

One summer camp I went to, over a series of 8 years, was located in the redwoods. I've often said that my favorite color is about 3 or 4 pm, in the redwood forests in the dead of summer. The sunlight is streaming through leaves, honey gold and backlighting all the leaves into unbelievable greens and the ruddy bark becomes copper dipped feathers. Somewhere nearby, a silver stream tickles over stony beds. It smells like someone taking a nap, and sunbaked dirt. I love that forest, and I don't think I will ever NOT love it
