Tracking with Dan and History with Randy

A second day getting acquainted with Barrington woods was even more interesting than the first. Dan revealed the secrets the forest creatures leave us clues about and later on Randy gave us rich insight into the socio/political, personal and natural history of the land. Especially fascinating to me were the clues we learned to look for left by a variety of woodland critters that give us a little window into their world. I am really looking forward to finding out what kind of bird left behind the feathers we found. Hoping for some type of owl. I also deeply appreciate Rick's reading facilitation. The exercises he introduced to help develop our sense of place and connection to this land were not only helpful pedagogical tools but also deeply satisfying to me personally.
