Today we went to Rancocas Cranberry Farm. We met up with members of the Pinelands Preservation Alliance & Pinelands Adventure Co., who were our guides. We did a four-and-a-half mile hike through the Barrens, walking around decommissioned cranberry bogs, wetlands, and heavily forested areas. We also did some dip-netting at a reservoir where we caught some fish, observed some water bugs, and tested the water. We even ran into a red bellied turtle! Eventually, we sat down in a sunny field for lunch and worked on our videos before heading back out to the bus and saying goodbye to our new Pineland friends. After returning to school, we conducted some colored vs. regular goldfish taste tests, and we determined that they actually do taste different! Overall, it was a pretty great day.
