      I signed it! It's a good petition but honestly I don't know what the petition can do.

    Today, my family and I picked persimmons off our persimmon tree in the backyard. We usually eat a portion of what we pick and what we can't eat we give them to friends and neighbors. Lower quality persimmons are usually left on the ground as compost or added in to the compost pile.

    Today I went to walk around my neighborhood to look for some watersheds in my area. Looking around, I was able to find a few watersheds that were placed to collect and filter storm water and runoff. I found that the watershed locations in my area are protected by the Surface Water Management Program in Clackamas County which helps maintain storm water facilities in order to maintain the quality of runoff water. One of the other program that supports one of the watershed was the RiverHealth Stewardship Program which is a grant that support communities that want to improve the health of watersheds within the surface area.

    Today I went to Mount Talbert Nature Park. I wasn't able to go the entire way due to forgetting to get water and got nauseous from walking uphill for around 20 minutes up the trail. Luckily I was able to find a park staff and ranger who helped me get back and gave some advice along the way. As far as the experience gone, I thought it was a refreshing and calming experience. Despite being a decent away from roadways, I was still able to hear some car noises. Natural noises that I noticed were the sound of water from the creek and some birds chirping. Overall, I had a great time and would love to do it again at some point but from uphill going downhill rather than vice versa.
