Ojibway Indians use many words to describe the snow and how it falls to the Earth.
Snow creates a blanket of warmth for some and a background for investigations for others.
Students from area schools had the opportunity to experience, investigate and learn more about snow and nature in winter during the sixth season of the Conservancy s Winter Environmental Education Program. Each of these activities provide students with a better understanding of northern Michigan s ecology, history and native wildlife. The experiences the children gain through tangible and innovative learning materials form a lasting impression and, hopefully, help them to form a responsible relationship with the nature that surrounds them. The Little Traverse Conservancy offers environmental education activities in every season, to many schools, free of charge, because we are devoted to preserving our greatest resource, our children. We save a little land from time to time, also.
