This Tuesday, we were lucky to have Sparks and Embers visit us for an evening field trip! We went outside and explored the Food Forest in search of leaves to paint and stamp onto paper, as well as anything they thought might make a good paintbrush, then headed inside to test it all out. We were so glad to have them here at the wetlands!

This fall, one of the indoor activities we've been doing are pressed flower and leaf bookmarks, with plant material foraged from the wetlands! The flowers in the bookmarks pictured below are New York asters; asters are a keystone species for pollinators because they're one of the latest-blooming flowers of the year.
