Field Trip to Trailside Nature Museum

Our trip to the Trailside Museum in late October was extremely informative. Sara, a naturalist from Trailside, conducted our tour and it was rewarding to witness the student’s engagement and their knowledgeable responses to Sara’s questions. Because the animals at Trailside had either imprinted on humans at a young age or suffered injuries that made them vulnerable to other animals, they are prevented from returning to the their natural habitats. Sara provided a wealth of information about each animal, from the red fox to the horned owl, in regard to diet habitat, and habits. During our bus trip back to school, many students drew pictures of what had captured their attention at Trailside. Even on a gray rainy day, the students took some great photos!
