The event is open to the public and runs from 9:00 am-2:00 pm. High school students who are competing at the CT Envirothon the following week at Topsmead State Park are encouraged to attend as well.
The event will involve students engaged in the following activities: using microscopes; handling and keying out skulls
(moose, grizzly and black bears, mt. lion etc.); doing soil textural tests with
their hands; identifying dead frozen birds while wearing gloves and using the Peterson
Field Guide, and working at a long row of buckets with dozens of tree and shrub
branches/twigs in them, etc.
