Our field trip was awesome! I'm sure your child told you all about it, (I hope so). Our guide, Paul, taught us so much about the living and nonliving organisms within the different ecosystems at the preserve. We also learned how the river and landscape has changed over time, how the caves formed, and the importance of conservation. Paul told us the story of how the preserve was once trashed by local visitors before a man bought the land, cleaned it up, and turned it into a preserve.
I was very impressed with how attentive the kiddos were, their questions, and respectful behavior. Everyone seemed to enjoy our hike which included going up and down 125 stairs! We also really enjoyed the grotto and the observing the cave. To our surprise, we heard golden cheeked warblers several times throughout our hike. As you can see, I took lots of photos. Due to the limited space on the trail, I wasn't able to get really good action shots of the kiddos, but I think you can get a good idea of our trip. I tried to capture each student in a small group, but I wasn't successful. The trail is narrow and there weren't opportunities to get posed photos. I hope you enjoy the photos anyway.
