Scouting out potential environmental sites for a lesson

Sunday, July 5, 2015
Today I went on an early morning excursion with my colleagues in search of a source of water near our school. Our goal was to find a source of water which would enable our students to implement a water testing lab that we will receive from our Duke Energy funded PD trip to Keystone Science School in Colorado.  We didn't have much luck, the water has dried up, but we did enjoy our 3 mile trip through the scrub! Lyonia Preserve offers a beautiful scrub habitat that provides the perfect habitat for the Scrub Jay! Too bad I didn't see any!





Scrub Jay and wetland picture at Lyonia - Taken several years ago - not sure if we could have used this source even if the water was still there. https://ssl.panoramio.com/photo/27538055
