Wings and Water

This is the name of an award-winning program by the Utah Nature Conservancy.  They've created a training that incorporates some of the Utah Dept of Education requirements and can be used by the teachers to fulfill those requirements for 4th graders. 
Part of accomplishing this is the use of volunteer Naturalist guides, who follow a very well documented training methodology.  In two hours, we expose the classes to the wonders of the wetlands - learning a bit more about both ourselves, the wetlands and the kids in the process!
I started back doing this again this year, skipping last year, and was re-energized once again.  How incredibly exciting it is to have kids exclaim "This is so wonderful!  I'm going to bring my parents back!" and so on.
Here's a few pics from today's tour - I arrived early and walked around and took a few shots prior to arrivals!
