This week, Young Naturalists and Explorers have been discovering the special things about the Pioneer Valley that make it such a great place to live. On the first day, the Explorers took a walk on our trails here at the Hitchcock Center to investigate what kinds of habitats we have and what makes them different.

On Tuesday, the Young Naturalists had a special adventure next door at the farm: an archaeological dig! Campers each had their own quadrant in which to dig for historical artifacts of the valley. They found bones, farm tools, and bits of pottery. In the afternoon, they pieced together the evidence to figure who was there, and what happened, before them.
