Chrissy Allen from Blue Hill Heritage Trust explains watersheds to Mrs. Huntington’s 1st and 2nd graders.

This was especially relevant to Mrs. Huntington’s 1st and 2nd graders who are just beginning an experiential learning program with Blue Hill Heritage Trust. Throughout the remainder of the school year these students will take part in various activities to explore and understand the Bagaduce watershed and its importance in maintaining a healthy local ecosystem.

We’re pretty sure all parties involved had a great time and we hope to have inspired a few young minds along the way.
