The Mad River

The Mad River is our first outing as a new group, it's close to our

Laurel Tree home base and it hosts a number of wonderful local species for our class to observe. We've seen frogs, fish, egrets, herons, swallows, king fishers, snakes and lizards to name a few. We practice traveling, observing, sharing and working together as a team in our first Forest School outing.
