I sectioned out two 2x2m plots in my backyard yesterday after mowing. I will continue to mow section 1 with the rest of my yard for the next month, but will not mow section 2. I will spend 10-20 minutes each day logging notable natural happenings in these plots using the handheld GPS logger.

This two plot study isn't likely to produce any interesting geographic information about observations in these two plots. Instead, the focus on this study is more about what features of the handheld GPS device could be improved to make logging these types of observations easier. The GPS functionality of the device is well understood and does not need much additional testing.
