Hartshorn Arboretum
I want to start out by saying that I was impressed that the group was still willing to come out in the rainy, blowing weather we had Friday.
The group as a whole preformed wonderfully during the paddle especially considering the windy conditions. It was really great to see parents and kids working together toward a common goal (not flipping, going in a certain direction, resisting the urge to smack the other in the head with the paddle).
My favorite part of your visit to Sedge was of course when Bonnie found the Nudibranch. It is just so much fun to say! And if you missed the live Nudibranch, you can see a picture if you go to the pictures link on the right. It looks like a spikey, colorful slug. I have never seen hermit crabs change shells, nor have I seen so many people get so excited over it! You were also the first group to catch any fish off the dock this season!
As Jim says I am the “Electricity Police” and we want to know if your conservation habits have changed since you visited the island, or if you plan on doing anything differently because of something we did on the Island.
Bonnie, you were a wonderful group leader. Thank you for all your help with the group, and I hope to experience one of your adventures in the future.

I went on the Sedge Island trip and I thought it was an amazing experience! I loved fishing and claming and all the other wounderful hands-on opportunitys. I hope many people go on the great trip and have as much fun as I did.
Thank you Katina, Jim, Bonnie, Taj (my dad) and all the other people who made my trip as fun as it was!
Family fun at Sedge is great! It is a pleasure for us to have a program with parents (especially Dads)and kids having fun and learning together. Sorry I had to leave early on Sunday. (I drove 4 hours to the University of Maryland to see my oldest daughter graduate with a PhD in psychology. I am a proud pop.) Jim
It must have been something in the water? Evan loved the clam he tried on Sedge Island, but when he tried one at home recently, he couldn't quite get it down.
I enjoyed myself thoroughly and anticipate returning next year.
Sincere thanks
