	Forest Wildlife & Insects Madelia Elementary first grade students became forest detectives recently when they were transported to Fedgi Park aboard the Ecology Bus. They discovered what animals are living nearby in the trees! PEBC Naturalists helped students identify animals by their tracks, trails, scat, bite marks, and the homes they leave behind to uncover the stories they tell us. They learned how the smallest of the forest creatures are connected with the biggest. The second grade students studied the most amazing mini-beasts around - Insects!! The students discovered the amazing variety in the insect world and learned what makes an insect an insect. They went on safari to capture these awesome creatures and learned to classify them into family groups while studying their unique characteristics.
