Marshall field interpretive hike for kids

Come join us for a 2 hour interpretive walk at Marshall field.
During the time with the children we will learn through games and group observation. 

Specifically we will:
-walk along the creek and learn about the vegetation and the animals here.
-talk about the beaver and the muskrat, how to tell them apart, what their tracks look like and what they eat.
-observe a willow tree and the signs of the beaver's gnawing.
-learn more about willow and its uses.
-identify rose and hawthorn by their thorns and learn uses for these plants.
-play a game where we learn about mice and voles and what their predators are.
-take a closer look at cattail and learn about its uses.
-discuss which birds migrate and which ones stay.
-see if we can spot a red winged blackbird and learn to identify it by its call. We will learn more about this particular bird. At the end we reiterate what we learnt and what we enjoyed the most.
