It's been a long time since Mary Dale and I spent time in our forest classroom and it has sure changed a lot over the summer months.  The paths are no longer clear and the campsite is blooming with a lot of greenery.  We explained to the kids that we got a lot of work to do to tidy up our campsite.  Here is Mary Dale explaining to the kids how to safely remove branches with the cutters.  Assessing risk and playing safely is a huge part any outdoor classroom curriculum and the kids are on the right path.  Here's to many more adventures in the woods at Natoaganeg School.
