The Land Lab is located right here in Independence.  It is a temperate deciduous forest with a running stream that the High School Biology Club maintains and uses for educational studies. There is a large classroom behind the Board of Education that is filled with lots of CRITTERS. Some High School students and Mr. Maretka (Biology teacher) will be putting on a special program for our preschoolers.  Students will learn how to investigate the lives of animals through the tracks and other signs they leave behind. Making animal track prints, created a book, and a nature hike to hunt for animal tracks are included in this fun winter event!

IMPORTANT INFO:
*   Arrive no later than 11:50. 
*   The activity will last approx. 2 hours.  We will have a snack at the end 


Dress for the weather.  The majority of activity is inside but we will go for a hike through the Land Lab to look for animal tracks.
