150 3rd graders today for their field trip to our property. We have been doing this since Zack was in kindergarten, although it has developed over the years. Kids arrive in 3 waves, stay 2 1/2 hours. Three speakers along the way: me at the old bear den, telling about logging and bears, Jay Kaplan the head of the local nature center at the bridge at Big Down Marsh, telling about birds and general aquatic habitat. 12 pairs of GBH nesting on the pond this year. Then back to the little pond for more aquatic habitat with Margery Winters. I was pretty much hustling around from 8 until 1, marking the route, putting out signs, transporting the pond speakers, turning off fences, talking to kids, etc.
The beavers are hard at work. Something needs to be done. A beautiful day, fun to have all the kids.
