The Trails
There are many
wooded nature trails found in the 34.5 acre Outdoor
Learning Center site. The trees, shrubs, and woody vines
are used by science students in dichotomous key plant
identification lessons. The students learn to identify
plant characteristics which helps them identify the
plants along the trails. Students also gain field
experience by using the various plants to collect data on
trunk circumference, height, etc. Along the trails are
many wooden walkways and bridges built by Eagle Scouts as
projects. The wooded areas are inhabited by gray and fox
squirrels, cottontail and swamp rabbits, raccoons, fox,
opossums, deer, armadillos, coyotes, bobcats, feral hogs,
and many species of birds.
