This morning we had the opportunity to visit the Huron Mountain Club for some educational outreach. We brought Mickey, the corn snake, Henry and Velma, the box turtles, as well as some skulls and pelts to talk about certain features to look for to tell if the animal was predator, prey, or an omnivore.

Thanks Sophie for bringing us out to meet a great group of kids on such a beautiful morning. Thank you to Liz, Blake, Joe and Tiffany for bringing a little bit of MooseWood out to the HMC!
