On this sunny, breezy Tuesday, grades 5 and 6 attended Conservation Field Days at the Addison campground. Lots of professionals, knowledgeable in their fields, volunteered their time to be with us. Throughout the day, we moved through six stations set up in the woods and surrounding fields, and we learned important information about forest management, animal habitat and the food chain, soil maintenance and preservation, solid waste management, and utilizing the landscape when raising animals to sustain the soil and protect streams and rivers from concentrated levels of pollutants.

As was evidenced today, our children are being raised in a culture rich in knowledge about such matters. How lucky they are!

Thanks for all you do. We'll talk again soon.
