We had an incredible first week exploring urban parks that are a part of the National Park Service. We had stops at the White House in Washington, D.C., Baltimore, and Philadelphia. At each stop students are collecting ideas to possibly start a movement in creating a National Park at our Inner Harbor. |

Today was not your typical visit to Ft. McHenry. We were the first students to ever take part in the salt marsh activity/research at the fort. We observed a heron, turtles, and even a raccoon running from some attacking crows! All of this is taking place at the birthplace of our national anthem located within the city. It just goes to show you don't have to travel miles outside of Baltimore to enjoy all that nature has to offer! We also took a closer look at the surrounding industries around the fort. We discussed the pros and cons of having so many industries in and around the delicate ecosystem of the Patapsco River and Chesapeake Bay.

Howard and ending up at Ft. McHenry. |
