Description
Great Blue Herons are deep observers, fast movers, and are vital to their habitat. We will study the same topics as the Red-tailed Hawk group (ages 6-8) but the older students will hike farther, learn more complex natural history concepts, and do more challenging projects.
This season each group will explore the many ecosystems of the Sanctuary from fields, to forests, to wetlands. How are these wild places the same or different? What plants and animals are waiting to be found in each? Through hikes, hands-on activities, and up-close observation of live animals, we will investigate the cycles and connections that these places share and also what makes them so wonderfully unique.
