And for the record, about 30 kindergarten-age children can fit inside a bald eagle nest. That's according to Ann McLain, a nature center volunteer supervising the children's paper-making demonstration Saturday in the center's classroom area. McLain based her estimate on the typical age and size of the 15,000 kids who visit the center each year for field trips. Diane Bush gave up a photojournalism career several years ago to start her own natural soap company out of her home in Richmond in Cache County. No animal fats are used.
Ingredients can include orange peel, corn meal, and lye.
Saturday she was experimenting with an orange, lime and pink grapefruit juices blend. His mother Shellie had been talking with Bush about the differences regarding attitudes toward recycling in moving to Utah from California five years ago. They finally located a recycler in Sandy, but only for clear bottles. The kids customized their particular segment by carving their names into the clay tubes and decorating them with twigs, grasses or other accessories. Once the 60-plus segments are cured in kilns by Parson and Groesbeck, they will be pieced together later this spring to form the Pottery Tree on the nature center grounds where it will stand permanently.
