Kicking off the Session
Fall Session is upon us! We started off our Fall Session of Urban Naturalist on Monday this week. We were VERY excited to not only welcome some energetic NEW recruits, but also 7 past Urban Naturalists too!
We started off my making a fun contract we can all abide by - including the instructors! We then made posters to display these rules in our new journals.

What's that Biofact?
We then observed a very interesting biofact. A biofact is a preserved item that was a part of or made by a plant or animal. The Urban Naturalists made inferences and observations about the biofact. Some of the thoughts about the Mystery Biofact were:
- the biofact is a hive for some animals
- the biofact was dung from a beetle
- the biofact was a left over acorn or nut that could possibly have been chewed by a squirrel
- there were holes on the top and bottom of the biofact
- one side of the biofact had a white streak across it
Check it out! What do you think it is? Scroll over the photo to find out!
