Learning About The Rainforest

Margy DeVane from the Conservatory at Edgerton Park explained why rainforest plants do not lose their foliage like plants in the Northeast. She pointed out the canopy, understory, and forest floor of the lush rainforest inside the greenhouse! The children seemed most excited to see the cocoa plant and banana tree! 



The Bronx Zoo

The Mixed-Age Group trip to the Bronx Zoo was the perfect way to wrap up our African animal studies! More photos to come!
