Lake Wallace Field trip Tuesday Sept 27th

The day started off murky

But we perservered, identifying measuring and mapping the trees.
The day brightened in the afternoon.  Is it supposed to be this hot in the last week of September?!

Garter Snake, Green Frog, ooh and that is a leech!

Back in the classroom, we got some pretty good shots of the Red-spotted salamander larva and the Giant Water Bug (ok, not that giant, only 1" long)

Overall, a very successful trip, with some solid learning, good data for mapping, and a great chance to explore around the beautiful, bountiful area that is Lake Wallace.  Thanks a million to Ms.Alves, Ms.Lucas, Rae and Devin Griffiths for chaperoning the trip!
