Ardmore 4-H Naturalist Studies 2020-2021

Image
Despite COVID, the Ardmore 4-H Naturalist Studies students have done a lot this year. They hosted a schoolyard BioBlitz, became certified in Wilderness First Aid and CPR, helped construct an outdoor classroom for our school and participated in citizen science initiatives. We even managed to keep the Envirothon team going!  We hope to do even more next year once things have returned to normal a little.  Here is a short video that explains our Naturalist Studies program: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0vgEo_1eKQ

Know what’s not as easy as it looks? Hanging a bear bag! Ardmore Naturalist Studies kids found that out first hand today as we took advantage of an unseasonably warm day to go out and practice. We didn’t have a truly suitable tree, but we made do, getting lots of strange looks from passers by in the process.
