The field trip will cover the life cycles of plants, amphibians, mammals, birds, with a focus on insects found in our native habitats.  We will discuss how animals and plants use natural resources and can change their environment.  Identifiable stages will be enhanced by the use of live animal and models in the nature center.  Includes exploratory walk and outdoor activity, weather permitting.
