The Environmental Science class went on a field trip to one of the most environmentally friendly buildings in the United States, the Phillip Merrill Environmental Center, headquarters of the Chesapeake Bay Foundation. Students learned several energy-saving features of the building by going on a "scavenger hunt" and touring the building. They also canoed on Black Walnut Creek and seined for aquatic wildlife to determine the biodiversity in the creek. They found ten species in the creek, which is great for this time of year. A big thank you to Chesapeake Bay Trust for funding this trip!
