The Land Trust recently hosted two groups of summer campers from the Martin Luther King Jr. Community Center. The younger kids learned about pollinators at Spruce Acres Preserve, did a scavenger hunt in the pollinator garden, and got to do their very own watercolor paintings of what they saw. The older group learned about wildlife habitat at Little Creek Preserve and did a scavenger hunt nature hike. We had so much fun exploring the outdoors and learning about the natural world!
