Albany Pine Bush Preserves

On Columbus day, we visited the Pine Bush Preserves near our home. It is one of the best remaining examples of an inland pine barrens ecosystem in the world. The educational department was hosting a creepy crawly craft day. One of the crafts that the girls did involved using ash from the controlled fires to manage the pine bush. The ash was turned into a pasty black paint...and the kids got to use straws to blow it across the paper. They really came up with some cool creations.
