Saturday at the Los Angeles Arboretum

This Saturday 30 students and myself braved the heat to visit the Los Angeles Arboretum.  While we were there we shared our service learning project and participated in a multitude of environmental activities.  Students created seed bombs, pet California native snakes, went cookie coal mining, learned about native plants, took some pine seedlings and lady bugs home and explored the Arboretum grounds.  We were hot and tired out by the end of the day but what a fun day it was.  Looking forward to more field trips this year.
