The Woodlands

These classes got an opportunity to see nature up close and personal on a walking field trip, accompanied by parents, to the Woodlands Park in Belle Chasse.  They went on a scavenger hunt to find leaves of native and invasive species of trees and evidence of native animal life. One creature that we found in abundance, was the golden orb spider.  They were everywhere! One part of the adventure was to make invitations decorated with leaf prints for a future planting to take place in the spring.  Maybe now a new generation will feel the need to preserve and conserve our natural woodlands and parks.  We learned the importance of planting native plants for the native animals to nourish themselves.  We learned how our actions now affect the future of our land and its animals.
