The grammar school students enjoyed a nature study outing at Ms. Long's house.  She lives on three acres of beautifully landscaped property full of indigenous trees and native wildflowers.  The students identified different types of trees, as well as measuring a tree's girth and taking a bark rubbing.  

Genesis 1:12
"The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed according to their own kinds, and trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind.  And God saw that it was good."
