Week 6 - Walden Woods

This week Mr O'Halloran's class, including some members of the Environmental Club and the Science Photography Club, got to go to Walden Woods. We were there to see the ceremony celebrating the opening of a new trail in the woods, called "Thoreau's Path on Brister's Hill." Senator Ted Kennedy and Don Henley were among the people who gave speeches (Senator Kennedy said hello to the students during his speech!), and the Science Photography Club's poster was displayed proudly for everyone to see.

After the speeches, the students got a guided tour of Walden Woods, starting with a visit to Henry David Thoreau's house. Then we traveled the path along Walden Pond and into the woods. It was raining when we started but by the end of the trip the sun had come out.
