On January 12th, we visited the Yolo Bypass Wetlands!
Thankfully, our field trip had been rescheduled from a wildly wet and windy day to a calmer, more foggy and misty day with sunshine at the end!
We listened to a brief introduction about the importance of the wetlands and the rules for the day...
...learned about what signs and scat we might find around...
...studied soils...
...scooped up various plants and animals in the water...
...examined our scoops...
...examined paw prints to determine which animals may be around...
...participated in the Great Percolation Race to understand why clay soil is so important to the wetlands...
...and then got to venture out to the wetlands themselves to see what animals we could see!
After a long day, we were all tired out!
What a great field trip!
