Project Summary: On Wednesday, Oct. 5th, the 3rd graders from Stanley British Primary School finished out their grade-level field trips to Cherry Creek State Park. They followed the same format as the other two grade levels. We were a little more heavy on the stewardship talk beforehand, since the 3rd graders would not have as much stamina to work as long.
Successes and Challenges: A lot of the kids complained about being itchy from the grass/mullein. They also were very aware of bees, since their 4th grade classmates had been stung.
Lessons Learned:
Special Notes:
Stewardship Education: Provided by VOC staff and park rangers.
