did some nature journaling along the way with various observations.
Throughout the day, the girls engaged with association interns Sarah Joy and Theadora Duane, who helped connect them to the lessons and find various nature- related items along the way. “This is another program that showcases the essential partnership approach we have with the Vernal School effort at the Montour Preserve,” said Zaktansky. “The Central Susquehanna Intermediate Unit (CSIU) working with the Middle Susquehanna Riverkeeper Association, the Montour Area Recreation Commission, Fessler IT Consulting and Get Lost Photography (Kinney) to connect young people with nature and the wide variety of opportunities at the preserve. These programs not only spark creative problem solving through STEM-colored glasses, but also help inspire the next generation of stewards and will bring new families to this vital venue.”
