Those of you who have been following the migration of Hidden Valley Photo Blogs around the web may notice that Photo Blog VII was skipped. Rest assured, as soon as the computer that is currently undergoing repairs comes home I'll post VII.
Hidden Valley played host to some unusual visitors recently. The Mountaineers Kitsap Branch was holding their Youth Theater Camp in the Forest Theater which is very near Hidden Valley. Campers and staff were given a special guided tour to Hidden Valley to view the beaver activity. Visit this link to see photos of the campers and staff as they view all the work the beavers have done. Hidden Valley Photo Blog VIII on Flickr
It was a remarkable experience for everyone. At least one camper reported that it was the best part of camp. Campers come expecting lots of physical activity, acting, singing, and dancing as they prepare for their end of week showcase but they didn't expect a chance to see a beaver dam and to learn about beavers. With the added bonus of two adults knowledgeable about woodland first aid the kids learned that maidenhair fern or slug slime are good remedies for stinging nettles and that apple leaves have antiseptic properties as well as lots lots more.
Until next time.
