Coquitlam Watershed

Our class visited the Coquitlam Watershed last week. What an amazing fieldtrip! We were so happy that we could get to explore God's creation on a beatiful, sunny day. When we arrived at the Watershed, we each got a nametag with the name of a plant or animal which we had to try and spot during our visit. The bus took us to the highest point from where we could look out over the watershed. Unfortunately, we didn't see a bear (the previous class did!) but we were lucky to spot the red-legged frog - thanks Justice! We went for a long walk through the amazing old growth forest; we were in awe of the huge trees, and laughed to see two centipedes kissing! We ended the day exploring the trails around Or Creek, from a specific person's point of view. The artists sat under the trees sketching what they saw, forest rangers used binoculars and magnifying glasses to find things, the dam builders enjoyed getting dirty while building their dam, and the navigators explored new areas with a compass in hand. I heard many of our students telling the guides: "This was the best field trip ever!" Take a look at the slideshow to share in our fieldtrip.
