We had a successful day leading a craft for kids, teaching them about fish in Pennsylvania streams. To demonstrate this we used different color tissue paper to show that different types of fish have different colors and textures. In addition to the craft, we taught them facts about Pennsylvania fish. The kids and the parents seemed to enjoy their day at Nolde Forest.
On Monday, February 15th, I went to Nolde Forrest and participated in the Great Backyard Bird Count. This meant I was able to participate in counting birds at the feeders in the park, and that information was then sent to a University for further study. I learned a lot about birds the day I was there. The park rangers had displays all over the room we were in and also had a Powerpoint put together for the kids they were expecting that day. I am looking forward to coming back to the forest to continue my hours. It will be more exciting for me know that I learned how to differentiate between the birds local to our area.
