Field Trip to Balcones Canyonlands Preserve



Green Tech Academy's 6th grade students visited Balcones Canyonlands Preserve on October 14th and 15th. They were treated to a tour of the grounds during which they practiced spotting the golden cheeked warbler and learned about how scientists track and study them. Students also assessed the quality of the local habitat for the warblers by identifying elements which they need to survive through competing in a scavenger hunt.

Finally teachers, students, and parents alike did some good old gardening work, assisting the staff of Canyonlands in preparing their new pollinator garden. After a refreshing lunch and a few  rounds of frisbee they all returned to school. 

Check out some more pictures of the trip below!
