Sneak Peek!


Our class is preparing to make our very own "Field Guide to the Trees." In order to do this, we conducted field research today, photographing trees and their features (the leaves, flowers, or bark). Our class broke up into three teams so that we could see a broader diversity of the trees within our community. This is just one photo from today and more will come soon!

Indian Meadows Nature Preserve

 We noticed the trail map at the beginning of the trail. There was a place to put trail guide maps.
 Nature trails can have open spaces like this picture shows here.


Here's a picture of a sign pointing to the "Tennis Courts." We thought we could make signs pointing to various parts of our nature trail too!

 Nature trails can have open spaces too!

We learned that wood chips are great for covering muddy areas.
