Native American Science Kids Visit Preserve

On a cold March morning, a boatload of nine Native American high school kids interested in science came over from Canoe Island. They are visiting and doing field work in the San Juans for about a week. We talked about Cedar Rock Preserve and some of its natural history as we walked up from the Squaw Bay orchard into the small woodland behind the house. There was a lot of talk about the role of deer and we spent time looking at the level of browse on different types of vegetation. A great group to host!
