If we went into the Forest right now, what animals might we see? Cornwall Central School District Willow Avenue Elementary third graders put on their research caps to find out which mammals have been active in the Forest this winter. A month ago, students set up camera traps 📸 to capture photos of different species on some old logging trails. Scroll through to check out their findings! 🦊🦌 It was great to see them back yesterday for a salamander survey, despite the cold morning temperatures!
