Sunday school in nature

A religious education class from the Unitarian Universalist church in Canton spent their Sunday morning exploring the natural world with a hike on the St. Lawrence University Kip Tract. We saw several different critters, talked about how to identify a few different trees, looked closely at fungi, and listened to the wind and the quiet as we got further from the road. This was a great way to experience the 7th principle of Unitarian Universalism, "Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part."
