Orienteering and Bear Bags at Lime Hollow!


On Friday, we traveled back to Lime Hollow Nature Center.  This time, however, we learned about outdoor survival with Dr. Eddie Hill, Dr. Amy Shellman and their SUNY Cortland outdoor education students.  Through a series of hands-on activities, we learned how to navigate with a compass (orienteering), how to use and set up a bear bag, and how to identify different trees.

Dr. Hill, Dr. Shellman and their students also work with our 6th grade classes each week as part of the League 56 Academy program.  We are grateful for this wonderful partnership and the opportunities it provides our students!
