Many of you have already explored Boxerwood with your school class, now you can show your families all the wonderful places you visited. (As a preview, lead them on a virtual tour.) 

AND ... THERE'S LOT'S MORE YOU CAN DO AT BOXERWOOD:

pick up information on building compost piles or just search through ours (and take home information about critters you might find),

or go on scavenger hunts,
