Nature Nuts met on Friday, April 15, to learn more about trees. After we ate lunch, we put on jackets and walked across the street to Wakefield Park. We walked through the woods looking at trees and animals that live in them. Because it was a chilly and windy day, we didn't see as many things as hoped. However, we did see some birds, 3 bird's nests, and a squirrel's nest. We found a path and followed it through the woods. We looked at tree stumps and saw rings in it. We found a tree that had fallen down and wondered why it fell. We saw a pair of ducks on Wakefield Lake and picked up a lot of sticks for souvenirs. We came back and I read The Great Kapok Tree by Lynne Cherry, pointing out that the animals that live in a kapok tree in the rainforest are very different than the ones that live in Minnesota trees!
