    I enjoyed your dendrology presentation! Especially that you took the pictures yourself! I hope to see more pictures that you take in the future!

Portfolio Outline and Timeline

For my final portfolio, I plan to assemble all of my assignments thus far into one comprehensive document. Since I already have a Portfolium account for another class, I will likely upload my comprehensive document to that platform and also to the Canvas Portfolio. My personal goal for this portfolio is to spread awareness about threats to the Swift Creek Reservoir.
