Thanks, Jim Egenrieder, for a great class field trip to Turkey Run!  In classrooms, we often study things in isolation, which is not necessarily a bad thing. But being outside make it clear how everything ties together - plant and animal species, availability and quality of water, weather conditions, human land use. I learned many things I didn't know, including what the fruit of the pawpaw (Asimina triloba) tastes like! I'm eager to go back to Turkey Run with my family, and also to learn more about Four Mile Run, the stream closest to my school.
