FIELDWORK UPDATE: Upper basin at Auburn’s Advanced Structural Engineering Laboratory is really showing it’s punk side. Basin 01 sports a nice mohawk of perennial pioneers of Goldenrod (Solidago), Fleabane (Erigeron), Dogfennel, and Boneset (both Eupatorium) emerging within the planted woody thicket of Chokeberry (Aronia). Pollinators are all over it. Just lovely to watch these develop.
