Environmental Centre, part 2

Outside, we got warmed up for adventure with a rousing game of Mayfly Tag. The giant patch of poison ivy (guarded by volunteers) added to the element of excitement. 

Our morning adventure began with a hike over two boardwalks, through a cedar woods, through porcupine forest, up a hill and down a hill. 

We spilt into two groups, one in the meadow and another in the wetland. 

We found lots of gypsy moth caterpillars in the meadow and lots of mayfly larvae in the water.
