Notes from Maple Grove

At Maple Grove, a class watches a maple tree, a small mouse, and people. The maple roots spread into damp ground. Soil rises around a stone where roots grow. The mouse pushes snow aside and makes a narrow tunnel under low branches. It carries dry grass into the tunnel.

Ari and June pack snow into a low seat beside the trail. They leave a wide opening under the branches. On a windy day, the mouse goes into its tunnel. Ari and June sit on the snow seat. The class sketches the place before and after the changes.
