Objective 1.1 Environmental Issue Instruction 2
Every year third year students spend a day at Chesapeake Bay Environmental Center or the Echo Hill Outdoor School, Inc. usually participating in:
Catch a Bay Critter- Appropriate for Kindergarten-HS, 1-2 hours. Available April-October. After hiking down a scenic nature trail, participants will use seining and dip nets, while wading in the bay and tidal pools (depending on tide, students may be walking through water up to their knees). They will catch and identify many different species of animal life to determine the health of the Chesapeake Bay and learn the importance of this spectacular estuary and the surrounding wetland ecosystem! [Reservation for 2022]. In April 2021 we even did a virtual field trip due to Covid restrictions [Explanation of virtual field trip].
