"This was the greatest field trip ever," said a student after spending a day at Sombrero Marsh with instructors from Thorne Ecological Institute. Children rotated through a series of four stations which included: bird identification and watching; gathering and examining organisms that live in the swamps; exploring how seeds spread; and understanding the effects of water pollution. Through hands-on activities, students were fascinated and involved in exploring this salt marsh ecosystem. Did you know this land was once a landfill but it was reclaimed as a natural wetland through the generosity of many volunteers? http://www.thornenature.org/programs/special-programs/bvsd-field-trip-program/ Comments are closed.
