PCToday Photo Gallery - Earth Science Center Helps Pupils Celebrate 'Earth Day'

[Photo Gallery Archives]

 

In what has become an Earth Day tradition, elementary-school youngsters from the Montgomery Area School District spent the day at the Schneebeli Earth Science Center on Tuesday, schooled by Pennsylvania College of Technology students in a number of forestry-related topics. The pupils moved among a series of education stations, learning about habitat, tree-climbing and other outdoor topics, and also enjoyed a sunny spring picnic at the nearly 400-acre "living laboratory" for the School of Natural Resources Management.
