Wilson Elementary visits Ruch and walks away with a possible Bigfoot sighting!

Last week, 6th grade students from Wilson Elementary School participated in the Ruch Outdoor Ed Experience.  

Students spent the first day at Ruch Outdoor Community School mastering archery skills, building nature shelters, and experimenting with hands-on fire models organized by Southern Oregon Fire Ecology Education.

On day 2, students traveled to Cantrall Buckley Park to engage in riparian lessons with the Applegate Partnership & Watershed Council.  Stations included macroinvertebrate sampling, stream water testing, salmon anatomy, and planting native willow clippings.  

The last day included a hike to the infamous Bigfoot Trap on Collings Mountain Trail near the Applegate Lake.  Rumors will circulate about a possible sighting, bizarre noises in the brush, or "ape-like" shadows roaming the hillside.  Whatever stories you hear, lots of fun was had as students dug into their place with a new appreciation for the natural world.

Thank you to all the volunteers, students and staff at Wilson Elementary School for a wonderful time!  See you next year!
