Looking Under Logs
Autumn is a very busy time for environmental educators, like me. At Group for the East End, we're in the field for 7 consecutive weeks with hundreds of students, teaching about eastern Long Island's forests, estuaries, ponds and ocean beaches. Last week, I had the opportunity to lead a hike for Springs School's Project M.O.S.T. after school program. My plan was to walk the beginning of the Springs-Amagansett trail, as it was easily accessible from school property. A member of the East Hampton Trails Preservation Society told me that that particular segment wasn't the "most interesting" part of the trail, but I think my little hikers would beg to differ.
