Where have all the elk gone? This week at club we talked about the reintroduction of elk to the east coast. We learned about why and when they disappeared, how they were reintroduced, and what humans are doing to help elk thrive again in our state. They are incredible creatures!

Obe is loosing all his favorite nature hang outs, his best friend, and has a math teacher breathing down his neck! But then he discovers a strange new creature eating all the plastic pollution in the area, that’s amazing right!? But all might not be as hunky-dory as it seems. Sometimes things get hairier before they get sorted, and with the help of some special people, things finally seem to start heading in the right direction for Obe. Members had some strong feeling about a few characters and situations in the book, but good writing sometimes allows us to have deep conversations about how we’d like to behave if co fronted with those very same things. We all played some fun Monopoly Go! games in a nod to the mentions of it in the book. Definitely a good time!

A wonderful fall day at AppleHillOrchardandCiderMill! After picking we headed over to South Mountain State Park to enjoy some beautiful nature.

There are more animals that inflate than you might think! From the well known puffer fish 🐡and frogs 🐸, to the weird bladders that hooded seals 🦭, camels 🐪 and prairie chickens 🐓 have and the even weirder noises that accompany some of these accessories. There are all sorts of reasons for having a balloon in your body apparently. Members made their own inflatable tp tube frogs and had a blast coloring and then blowing them up! 🐸

Indigenous seed keeping in North America spans 10,000 years. This art is deeply rooted in identity, science, and ecological stewardship. Learning about the rich history of seed keeping helps us feel more connected to Earth and develop a deep appreciation for the knowledge and dedication of the many seed keepers both past and present.

Horns, antlers, and tusks OH MY!! Today we learned about all the bony things that can grow on animal heads! From deer and moose (antlers), to cows and buffalo (horns), and elephants and narwhals (tusks), we learned how these protrusions grow, what they are made of, and what they animals may use them for. Our craft was very on point (pun intended hehe), we made our own horns to wear. It was an involved project and everyone persevered 💪 and they came out great!!

There are some plants that just don't follow the rules! This week we learned about plants that don’t root themselves in soil, don’t need the sun to make food, or need so little water to survive it seems impossible. It just goes to show that nature is beyond amazing and can solve just about any problem! Members then did a ‘watercolor painting’ without using water or paint. It was a very cool craft, you should try it!

This month members read Fuzzy Mud by Louis Sachar. Three kids from Woodbridge Academy stumble upon some unusual mud in the woods behind the school, so unusual in fact, that the NIH, CDC and US Senate get involved in trying to figure out what’s going on!! The story highlights the lengths we’ll go to for friends and family and that sometimes the breakthroughs science makes can result in unexpected, and even dangerous, outcomes! Members constructed a ‘never-ending zine’ from a sheet of cardstock, then decorated with stamps stickers and collage materials. They all cane out so uniquely wonderful!

Pyrophytes are incredible plants that tolerate, withstand or even depend on fire for survival. These incredible plants are symbols of resilience and strength. This week during our club gathering, we learned all about these incredible plants and enjoyed a fiery craft!

As a club we love learning about nature. One avenue is learning about the flora and fauna, another is stewardship. We walked several trails to pick up lots of litter. Bottle caps, fishing line and plastic wrappers were found in everyone's bags. We also saw some really cool mushrooms along the way.
