| For the past 5 years, Dana Skidmore has conducted two separate weeks of Ecology Camp for the children of Clinton and surrounding shoreline towns. Children explore both fresh and salt water habitats ; learning about the different plants and animals that adapt and thrive there. Dana’s philosophy is that when children are immersed in something and able to grasp it (literally) with their hands, they tend to remember everything about that experience. Some of the salt water discoveries that were made this year were: catching puffer fish, pipe fish, blue crabs, fiddler crabs, flounder, green crabs and so much more. The fresh water / woodland habitat highlights included observing wood frogs, green frogs, bull frogs, northern water snakes, countless woodland birds, insects and fungi. The children come away with an appreciation of their own backyard and a desire to preserve it. |

Presidents Comments December 3, 2012
I would like to take this opportunity, as I do each year, to extend our sincere thanks to all the volunteers who have given their time to help the Board achieve its goals over this past year. We couldn’t do all we do without your help. ........ Here in Clinton, our woods and trails provide an opportunity to disconnect from the world of technology and allow us to reconnect with ourselves. Anyone who can appreciate the color of a blue sky, the warmth of a sunny day, and the sound of the birds in Spring is making a connection to the natural world…it’s part of being human. Read the whole report... Click here As Henry Theroux said, “In wildness is the preservation of the world.”
Respectfully submitted, Michael J. Houde President of the Clinton Land Conservation Trust, Inc.
