Nature Center

[atricilla.livejournal.com]

I'm planning to set up a self-service nature center thing again: Field guides, colored pencils, & drawing paper on the wall in the back corner of the lodge. I'd like to ask the community for two things:

-Please help your kids identify things in the books. I think the drawing was popular last year, but the books were underutilized. I'll be around now & then to help out, regardless.

-Does anyone have old field guides they'd be willing to bring along to put in the stack (or flat-out donate to the cause)? I just bought used guides for Insects & Trees, and I'll have my Bird guide from when I was a kid.

Thanks all!

Can't contribute obviously but I think it's very cool that you're doing this!

I have a field guide to stars and planets, a mushroom ID book, Dirr's Manual of Woody Landscape Plants, and a Dicot Turf Weed booklet.

Thanks! The mushroom guide may be the only relevant one up there, tho I'm not sure I want to try teaching mushrooms to kids. Just don't let them taste any?!?

Thanks for doing this! I'll look around my place for things to contribute to the Nature Center.
