journal seven

Today I finished the briefing paper for FLOW. I had trouble contacting Heather over the weekend with questions I had for her, and she did not end up responding until just before I sent her the document. I did not end up editing in those details she sent, as she said the document looked clear, concise, and thorough. She said she was going to go over it with FLOW's River Stewardship committee and edit in the necessary details. She said, however, that the document would need very little tweaking. I was happy to hear this because the questions I had for Heather I had to solve/answer myself without her guidance. This document, while it was pre-formatted and the information was relatively guided, was a challenge because I had to express a thorough familiarity with FLOW's work, with Storm Water Management, and with the reasons for its importance. There remained a few questions regarding vocabulary that many people would not understand. I left those questions to Heather. We will be meeting Friday to work on the next project. This will either be the editing of their Backyard Conservation Manual, or to write an article(s) for their newsletter. Both would be valuable experiences, and I told Heather that I am willing to help them on whatever is most urgent. I am looking forward to this next project.
