Kid to Teen Ecomentors ... Nov 16 and Dec 7

We had a great time in October, checking out the hardy damselfly and mayfly larva, and constructing a log-bridge over the flooded area below Rte 202!  Mud was the fashion of the day!!


Lake Wallace as Winter approaches ...

Wear waterproof boots and come dressed for the weather … we’ll go snow or shine!  As the winter season descends upon us, we’ll be admiring the landscape and checking out what’s happening in the water.  Who’s still with us and active, who’s gone dormant for the cold season?  We’ll take some time to sketch landscapes and continue the work started by the BHS and CHCS science students measuring and mapping the trees.  Beyond that, we’ll be checking out the changes the winter brings, looking for signs of life in the woodland in tracks and scat, and reading the stories the trees have to tell us.

Pick up the note and permission slips from MsLevy in Room 127 at the High School, or from the contact person at your school  ... Mrs. Butler, Mr.Clark, Mr.Greene, or Ms.Brunelle ... they should have the paperwork sometime on Tuesday, Nov 8.  Parents/Guardians of Elementary students should be sure to follow your schools' policy on dismissing your child!

So, let's get out there and be hardy, celebrate New England outdoors in the winter!
