On a rainy Thursday morning, on the first day of the SEJ conference, members of SEJ walk through a contaminated area on Aberdeen Proving Ground called "J-Field." The site is being decontaminated by using hybrid poplar trees to absorb contamination in the soil and ground water. Aberdeen also has one of the largest wildlife refuges.
