During the morning we finally had a meeting with the staff and interns to discuss an upcoming project and determine what my role would be. Originally I was going to help with water sampling near the headwaters of the Qingyi River, but plans got changed. Instead I would be accompanying the staff on field surveys of ten different villages that had historical significance along the river. The project would be simply for gathering general information at each site to prepare for a more in depth series of surveys for which they would be utilizing many volunteers. Unfortunately it would be taking place after I had to leave.
The NGO also wanted me to give a presentation for the general pubic at a special cafe in the city. They wanted me to talk about how environmental NGOs in California work with the public and the government.
I spent the rest of the day working on this presentation.
