Description
Great Blue Herons are careful observers, fast movers, and are vital to their habitat. This group is for our students ages 9 to 12 who will hike farther, learn more complex natural history concepts, and do more challenging projects.
Over the course of eight weeks, learn about the 'wild superheroes' all around us, such as plants and animals that can fly, breathe underwater, and defend themselves with weird and remarkable adaptations. We'll search for these local legends and learn about their super skills through nature games, crafts, and hands-on exploration, such as learning how to use trail cameras, creating "beaver dams" to slow down water, testing water quality, solving animal track mysteries and much more!
- If needed, we will have a make-up class on November 19th.
