Forest Camp, Sabot at Stony Point


So M headed into the woods sprayed thoroughly with insect repellant and in suitable footwear. Their adventures took them to different locations deep into the Lewis G Larus Park, including the Chippenham Parkway underpass.

Day 1. The (fun) Bridge
Day 2. The (dusty) Canyon & The Bridge
Day 3. The (muddy) Tunnel
Day 4. The (muddy, dark) Tunnel
Day 5. The Bridge then The (exciting) Gardens

The teachers had a snake-walk they did with a  sturdy stick before they kids settled down to play and on the final day a young i.e. more volatile, copperhead was spied at the creek, so they decamped back to the school gardens.

Sightings - a turtle, toad, a snake (!), tadpoles, assorted insects... more ticks
