Field Trip to Three Rivers Regional Park

With thanks to a private donor and support from friends like you, on a delightful spring day in early April, Maxfield Learning Center students visited North Mississippi Regional Park for a morning of adventure, exploration and learning.

At the visitor and education center, we were introduced to some land and water loving creatures,  like the crayfish that molted this skin:
and this toad:
 and this turtle:

We walked along a lovely woodland trail and explored early spring life under the leaves (bugs, beetles and larvae.)



We wandered down to the shore of the mighty Mississippi and put a finger in the river; walked the sandy shoreline looking for beaver chewed trees, shells, lovely rocks, and shared our treasures with our classmates; then, we threw a few stones back into the river just for the fun of it.



 Thank you for making this wonderful day in the great out of doors possible for our students.
