Nature Strollers

The mission of the Nature Strollers is to support parents and grandparents in their role as primary interpreters of nature for their families; to provide opportunities for families to enjoy unstructured time outdoors; to familiarize families with local trails, refuges, sanctuaries and preserves; and to develop networks among families with a common interest in nature.

Goose Pond Mountain Created Wetlands, 20 May 2007

Though the weather looked quite ominous at times, seven families participated in today's outing at Goose Pond Mountain Created Wetlands. Today, we caught tadpoles and water bugs, and we spotted praying mantis egg cases, a melanistic (or black) squirrel, and the hanging basket nest of the Batlimore Oriole (which we also saw flitting around... Thanks, Mark!). We also got close looks at the Hiclory Hairstreak caterpillar and a Box Turtle, which Josh and his family had rescued from the street in Goshen. Stay tuned for Laurel's field notes; in the meantime, enjoy these photographs!
