First Trip to Crowley's Ridge Nature Center was successful!

     On Wednesday morning, we went to the Crowley's Ridge Nature Center with Dr. Fears and our Journalism Seminar class went to get to know more information about agriculture in Arkansas.

     This is our first field trip this summer.The weather is great and the air is fresh on such a beautiful summer morning. After we got there, we watched a short movie lasts about 16 minutes to know the history of natural State of Arkansas. We gained some knowledge through it and the effect of the movie made us exciting such as the rain and storm, we can feel it during watching the movie.
     After watching the movie, Dr. Fears asked us to take a visit to the museum.There are bear sample, wolf sample and snake sample and different instructions about the crowley's ridge. The wolf is so cute! I hope I can have one, I know that is crazy.
     There is also some fishing information because the Crowley's Ridge Nature Center is the fish commission. I loving fishing with my friends,but we are not good at fishing, so I took two books from there, hope that I can learn some fishing knowledge from it.

     Jonesboro and the Crowley's Ridge Nature Center is an unique place on the ridge. During the civil war,Crowley's Ridge was the only practical route through the region for soldiers.
     The Nature Center opens everyday except on Mondays. People who are interested in the nature can choose to go there and have fun.
     The first trip was successful. I cannot wait to go to the second one together with my classmates and professor!
