You will obviously be aware of the other members of your class. However, your task is to look for OTHER evidence of human involvement, intervention, and presence down in the pond/woodland area. Make a list and describe all of the things that you find. You may certainly bring back samples of the evidence.

Evidence of human involvement found around pond/woodland area

Type of evidence	Description of evidence (what does the evidence show)

Some of the evidence you find may be from long ago and other evidence may be very recent. Look at your list and describe whether the evidence supports past human presence or recent human presence.










Now go back over your list and describe whether you think that the evidence you found represents a POSITIVE human influence or a NEGATIVE human influence. (You may find both!)
