We are bee-yond thankful to Ella Carlson from Troop 7018 who planted a pollinator garden behind the Environmental Education building as a part of her Girl Scout Gold Award. In addition she came and spent a morning with the preschool students talking about pollination and working with the kids to make rocks to decorate the garden. Ella has been a Girl Scout since kindergarten and a Forest Friend since she was a preschooler. We are so thankful for her gift to the KPNC and to our pollinator friends!
