Leave No Trace: Kids Speak

Catherine, Dave, Melinda and I went to a local school in Boulder to do a few PEAK activities with the kids before their big field trip up to Keystone Science School. In addition to being serenaded with the lovely "Thank you" song, we received personalized thank you letters from the kids, letting us know what they learned. As always, kids are very perceptive and absorb knowledge. Here are a few little gems:

"I learned that even if you see the prettiest flower in the whole park, you should take a picture so that others can enjoy it."

"I learned three new things yesterday because of you: that stoves can be soooo small; I memorized the Leave No Trace principles and I learned what a gaiter was."

"Last but not least, be prepared. Bring all sorts of things that could be useful."
