Natural Lands Trust building stewardship staff: Bob, Steve, Luke and Scott took a short break from restoration projects to create an environment in the upstairs of the barn for camp. I think they have outdone themselves this year.
I don't want to give away too much—and the kids will do all of the finishing work—but I can tell you that inside the barn the kids will be acting out the water cycle.
The guys have built an "evapo-transpirator" that will lift the kids like molecules of water, and the kids will drift across the barn like clouds and precipitate to the ground by ingenious means. There is also under construction a beaver dam and lodge and a house with septic system. Campers will add the critters that reside in these habitats.
We're looking forward to a great program—which, regretfully, is full.
