Become a nature detective

A great way to create a deep and memorable understanding of nature's cycles is to pick places for observation. Find a few favorite spots on the Black Pond Woods Trail and visit once a month for a year. Bring a camera and notebook to document the constant activity and change. Take the same picture and compare how wonderfully different the same spot looks from the month before!

The sun, with all those planets revolving around it and dependent on it, can still ripen a bunch of grapes as if it had nothing else in the universe to do. - Galileo
