Tommorow
begins a significant journey for a group of Houston high schoolers. They have
agreed to be taken out of their urban comfort zones on a week long expedition
into nature. Informative talks, energizing activities, and genuine camping will
give them the opportunity to be a part of nature: a place that they may never
have been, and may never have had an opportunity to go to.
First
will be a Safety Briefing from the Texas Forest Service to start the day. A
walk through the Sweetleaf Nature Trail will jump-start our team for the week
ahead. We'll make one of our first positive impacts in nature at the Children's
Forest in the Sam Houston National Forest. Finally, as the sun sets, will be
sizzling fajitas with the Chikawa Aztec Dance Group, long-time friends of the
USDA Forest Service, FNFGT, and the forests of Conroe.
Our
humid evening at the W. Goodrich Jones State Forest is filled with the sounds
of animals that are comfortable in these woods. The youth will hear those
sounds too, while camping under a canopy of stars.
