Stages of beauty

Our ability to perceive quality in nature begins, as in art, with the pretty. It expands through successive stages of the beautiful to values as yet uncaptured by language. ― Aldo Leopold

Classroom visits

I just wanted to take a minute to THANK all of you for a great program at Farrand Elementary. We really appreciated the enthusiasm and professionalism that was shared with our community. This was our first experience with bringing in outside resources and I can assure you that we will definitely be interested again next year. THANK YOU!!― Julie Tafelsky, Biology Educator
