In April, 2016 Cooperative Extension of Tompkins County finalized a lease with Cornell University for the Arnot Teaching and Research Forest, and we at Primitive Pursuits will serve as the lead coordinators for the usage of the land.
This week the Friday Catbird Flock began the day with sharing stories of relatives and ancestors, listened to a story about a feisty old lady, her prim and proper son and 2 goblins and then headed out to build a fire and make some warming stone soup!
Today I processed my first deer. She had been hit by a car. Her neck and body were still faintly warm, and her eyes were still clear. She had sustained serious internal damage. However, she was such a beautiful, large, healthy doe, I couldn’t even begin to lift her into the back of my car myself.
Week seven was fun of magic and fun that stretched into the evening hours…
This week, the reopening of schools was a big topic among campers who come together from a variety of schools and districts in the area.
A rainy day doesn’t stop our campers from creating long-lasting traditions, structures, and memories!
