Into the Woods...and Caves

Yesterday we headed out in the beautiful weather and visited Inwood Hill Park.  We traveled to the northern tip of Manhattan to explore the natural habitats that the Lenape lived in hundreds of years ago. Inwood Hill Park is the only naturally found forest on the island of Manhattan.   We took lots of notes and sketches about what we heard and saw of the natural habitats. We found lots of different habitats that we had studied - cliffs, rocky beaches, forests, rivers, streams, and lots more!  We also went to see some caves that the Lenape spent time in when fishing and hunting in northern Manhattan.  The caves were so cool!
