Lindsey Harrell from Chippewa Nature Center spent the day exploring our vernal pool area with Floyd students. This area is typically filled with water every spring. She taught us the importance of vernal pools as well as indications that it is a vernal pool even though there isn't much water. Upper elementary classes buddied up with lower elementary to investigate and search for evidence.
