Grade 6 students studying Biodiversity do a hike around the Blair property looking for evidence of winter wildlife. We struck pay dirt yesterday with fresh deer tracks in the field, a shallow spot along the stream where a fox broke through thin ice (no worries, it was only centimeters deep) and this awesome scene of a meadow vole tunneling under the snow, and weasel tracks pursuing the vole! Narrated by Mr. Palmer’s class from Franklin P.S. Great job, everyone!
