Eco Ventures is a program designed to get youth outdoors and that is just what we did last week!! On Wednesday we explored the Landmark Forest and Working Woods at Montpelier. James Madison was one of the original conservationists so we got to see trees that have been untouched for over 250 years!! The 4-Her even got to climb to the top of a 250 year old tree that was 15 ft around (Sure it was laying on it's side but what an awesome experience!!). Thursday we loaded up our backpacks for a hike up to the Lower White Oak Canyon Falls. We were the first ones on the trails. Along the way we stopped to perform some water quality test and look for "bugs" in the creek. What a great time we had exploring all the natural resources right in our backyard!
