Camp Calhoun’s Ecology Study began today. We have been observing caterpillars transforming to butterflies and released 5 today in the pollinator garden. Groups are also learning about how plants begin as a seed. Sometimes these seeds provide beautiful things for us to enjoy, and sometimes a seed leads to the beginning of a food chain/web. Students enjoyed painting flowers today where we included seeds!
