I should not be able to tell whoworked together without looking at the name(s), above.IF YOU ARE LOST OR IN DANGER, ASK FOR HELP (the frisbee golfers know thearea well) Otherwise, remember that the exam is more about your thought process thangetting the ‘right’ answers… and don’t forget to have fun 1. Assess the scene and get your bearings. From your parking spot, walk to the open space, then towards the mountains,until you are looking down at the playground below. Assess the scene from thiselevated view. There should be water pipes with metal fencing around them onyour left, and a big tree right in front of you. Look around, then look at thewatershed (sight over the houses above the playground). Can you see any of themajor sources of water/nutrient inputs that you identified in your backgroundresearch? Describe below. Note any additional sources of water/nutrients thatwill drain into the riparian area (which is down and to your right).________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ How would you describe the fire danger in this area?
