Institute for Nature Study 自然教育園
By Tomoyo

Taking advantage of the beautiful summer weather, the Adventure in Tokyo participants visited the nature park, Shizen Kyoikuen, near Meguro Station.  The group set out to find different species of plants, birds, and insects.  The Bird group did find sparrows sunbathing in the lawn and heard several birds chirping in the branches of a tall pine tree.  The Insect Group found two species of butterflies and sketched them in their notebooks.  The Plant Group found many species of flowers and vegetation throughout the dense and lush park.  Other children drew pictures of a waterfall, a stone bridge and ajisai flowers.
