Sanibel School students in Mrs. Camputaro’s third-grade class joined SCCF Environmental Educator Richard Finkel to identify and learn about ferns in SCCF’s Pick Preserve last week. Students learned what makes these primitive plants different from other plants while making observations and sketching the ferns they found along the Pick Preserve Nature Trail.
SCCF’s Pick Preserve, featuring a nature trail and boardwalk, is located directly across the street from The Sanibel School making it an ideal setting for outdoor education and the opportunity to incorporate environmental science into curriculum goals.
