Leaves

There is something magical about leaves, which come in all different sizes, thickness, shape, hue, texture, and even taste.  Leaves are large, small, thick, thin, compound, simple, curved, or lobed.  We will talk about why leaves are so different from each other and some of the adaptations plants have made to cope with competition from other plants and animals.  A short hike through the trees will help us discover what it is like to be a leaf.  Meet at the Campground Picnic Shelter.
