Mapping Felled Trees Fieldwork

Our crew has been working on reading and creating a map using a key, symbols, and compass rose. The students were able to put their mapping knowledge into action this morning as we visited Carson Nature Center. We identified Willow and Cottonwood trees chewed by beavers, and mapped our findings. We also interacted with a flood table. Interacting with the flood table helped us understand how important a dam is to a beaver's survival. We had a great day of learning, fun, and sunshine!
