The reason the 6th graders and the Alternative
Ed are working on the nature trail is because we want it to be nice for
people to hike and observe the nature around them. We want people be able
to have a good hiking trail too because the nicest ones are in Rockland.
It would be nicer for the people of St. George to have a trail that is
close to home and is in walking distance.. We can also have classes down
there for other 6th graders to come. Also we went to Tanglewood Youth Forestry
Camp for 3 days to better understand about managing nature trails and where
to put the paths and other things. At Tanglewood we also learned how to
use a compass, a soil auger, pacing areas, using compasses, and how to
judge whether a forest is hardwood, softwood, or mixed. Also on the last
day of camp we had thought up a trail management plan for the Yankee
wood lot near the camp.

Here is the spot I chose for my persuasive
paper.
Kind of grubby, isn't it?

view my black walnut tree PowerPoint slideshow. I did this because we needed
to know about different types of local trees to help us with the nature trail.

we had to convince the citizens of
St.George that a certain spot of our choice
should be a highlight on the nature trail.
