Lyt Wood taught a mountain ecology class. He emphasized the study of the habitats of this area, and the interrelationship of plants and animals. His campers built a dam on the Hazel River which runs in front of Mr. Wood’s property to create a big swimming hole.
One day they chased after insects, said Mr. Wood. They learned how some are predatory, some are prey, and some are pollinators, which flowers depend upon.
Another day they visited the “mushroom woods” and discovered an abundance of mushrooms in all sizes, shapes and colors. They found some chanterelles and coral mushrooms, which are edible, but they were past their prime and bugs had begun to eat them.
The campers made their own flash cards of animals and plants, and studied insects.
One day was spent on “The Percher” on Hazel Mountain. It is an old abandoned peach orchard site, and there used to be a Still there, said Mr. Wood. They found plenty of old peach pits in the soil there.
Also on Hazel Mountain, they found bear scat and followed the bear’s trail for quite a distance. They saw the bear’s claw marks on a cherry tree nearby.
