Service Learning Reflection

For my service learning hours I volunteered at Koreshan State Historic Site. I learned all about when Koreshan first started to how it declined. It was interesting to learn Koreshan was meant to be utopia for pioneers of all kinds. I had no idea Koreshan used to be a village; I thought it was just a nature park. I learned so much about Koreshan State Historic Site. While I was volunteering I was able to identify a few different species such as a gopher tortoise, bamboo, a raccoon, cabbage palm, pond apples, and mangoes. I was lucky enough to help Koreshan sustain their beautiful park by picking weeds. When we were finished I felt really good about myself because we made the trail look so much better and more presentable.
