North Country explorer from Plainfield, Vermont
I enjoyed a visit to The Forest School at Stone Hill Farm for the new school's October Family Day / Home School Day. It was a beautiful, 70 degree fall day, and we spent the morning in the woods with families and the schools co-founders, Tasha Akins and Megan Holloway letting the kids discover what the forest had to offer. Highlights included playing in the stream, finding a huge snapping turtle, and collecting fall leaves for a color wheel activity.
Color wheel created with leaves students and visiting parents collected together.
Students gather to peer at a large snapping turtle discovered in the stream!
What's this thing? A brave student picked up this bolete mushroom cap to take a closer look.
Still more to see on the walk back from the woods! Here students gather around a small brown snake (likely a northern red-bellied snake or northern brown snake).
