Our NEWT (Naturalist-Eco-Wild-Team) program is a naturalist group that learns about the plants and animals in our local environment. Each week, we'll explore different areas of Huron Natural Area to see what we can see. Week 1 of our NEWTs naturalist program had us looking in the meadow.    Supper time for this black and yellow garden spider!  After this, we made our way down to the pond for a quick peek.   We started our nature journals, where we'll keep track of things that we see and hear. This is a list of some of the we saw:
It's amazing what you can see in just an hour and a half. What a great group of observant NEWTs we have!

We love this land where we play and learn: the sun that warms us, the trees that give us shade, beauty and places to climb. The plants that give us food. The creatures who teach us about how to live in a good way. Thank you to the bugs and turtles, the great blue herons and the tadpoles. To the fairy shrimp, the tree swallows, the pond snails, the newts. To the Jack-in-the-pulpits, the trout lilies, the goldenrod, the asters - all of you are so beautiful and teach us so much. To the water, which is life - the ponds, creeks and the Grand River watershed.
We are honoured to walk, learn, and play on the traditional territories of the Haudenosaunee, Anishinaabe, and Chonnonton Nations, treaty lands of the Haudenosaunee. Grateful for the ongoing care, stewardship, and teachings from Indigenous Peoples that help us walk gently on this earth. We are committed to the ongoing process of decolonization through partnering with local Indigenous educators in our facilitation, learning about the past and about good ways forward together, and respecting the land as our First Teacher.
