Hi. I feel that the trip to Labrador park was a rather meaningful one compared to the last time we were there. As it is a nature reserve, so there will naturally be a lot of conservation going on. However, by conserving Labrador park, we not only conserve our natural vegetation there, we preserve our coastal features there as well and learn the ways in which to protect it. All of this made me realise how fragile nature actually was, and it was of importance to start conserving it. However, we cannot leave such works only to the conservationist out there in the field. We ourselves must also play a part in conserving our natural elements. Ok, now on to the things that we saw during this field trip. Firstly, when we came down from the bus, i saw the floor. Ok, that was crap. Our first destination was in fact, the aerial tower, which gave us a spectacular view of the sea and the natural vegetation, such as the structure of the forest. After that, we made our way down where we came across some methods of soil conservation. After that, we went to the beach where we calculated wave period and we learned about the wave-cut platform and how it was formed. After that we headed along the pathway and along the way, we learned about seawalls and how it prevents the shore from being eroded. Following that, we came across a gigantic cliff that has been battered by the various weathering processes. However, we found out that the main weathering process happening there was in fact oxidation, as the rock was reddish-brown in colour, thus indicating the presence of iron in the rock. Also, there was a gun station just beside the cliff and that was where i met Johnny. Our final destination was at a piece of rock called(direct translation from Chinese)dragon teeth gate. This rock had also been weathered by oxidation as well as the roots of plants. I felt that i learned many things from this trip and i would gladly go back there again. Also, I learned something about my friend too. For example, wang zhi gets nose his bleeding very easily. Thats about all. Thank you.
