Members of the botany group (from left to right: Shane Manchouck, Linton Arneaud, Chantal Leotaud, and Dan Jaggernauth) pose for a photograph to be used in the TTFNC 2022 QB (vol 1) write-up report.

On this very hot day, members were thankful to sip water and enjoy the scenic view at a cliff on Mt. Tamana ridge. At the trigonometry point, most of the natural forest was displaced by herbaceous and grass species as a result of anthropogenic activities over the years.
