Also, 4th graders visited the Hartwick Pines Logging Museum where they learned about the white pine forest, loggers and rivermen from our
past. In addition, they visited the Chippewa Nature Center in Midland to gain an understanding of the Saginaw Valley's ecosystem and gain environmental awareness through first hand experience in the 1,000 acre visitor center. The students learned about deciduous and coniferous trees, wetlands, ponds, rivers, and marshlands.
