Our field trip to Oxbow Regional Park was terrific! We started the adventure in a grand coach with air conditioning and comfy seating. Our class decided that is the only way to travel from now on. We we arrived we were greeted by several education volunteers. We split into 5 groups and toured the banks of the Sandy River and the old growth forest in the area. We looked for various animal and insect tracks, macroinvertebrates in the water, invasive and native plants, and watched birds of prey in the sky. Our students had the opportunity to try edible plants and to identify many things during our scavenger hunt. What an amazing day filled with lots of learning and great weather outdoors!
