LITTLE FERRY, NJ — Seventh-graders recently traded their classrooms for a hands-on nature experience at New Jersey Audubon's Lorrimer Sanctuary in Franklin Lakes.
According to Little Ferry Public Schools, students visited the sanctuary last week, meeting corn snakes, musk turtles and box turtles.
They also explored hiking trails with binoculars during a bird-watching adventure.
Students then used a mechanical press to make fresh apple cider.
New Jersey Audubon offers educational field trips at Lorrimer Sanctuary, where students can participate in nature-based learning activities.
