Indians and Nature
Leader: Lynn Meehan
Location: Sharon Audubon Center
The Native Americans of northwest Connecticut knew so much about nature because they depended on the plants and animals for food, clothes and shelter. Hunt through the fields and woods of Audubon Sharon with teacher/naturalist Lynn Meehan for some of the materials and methods that the Indians used to survive. |
