Suggestions to artists for improvements:
-Goat encounter: presenter should present the information about the goats prior to entering the pen. It was difficult to keep the students' attention and to hear the valuable lesson that was being taught because they were excited to interact with the coat. Time in each session: Session times ran long and should be kept to no more than 30 mins. Woodland Trail: Many students had ticks on them, we recommend that in the future we stay on the trail. Students should also be discouraged from taking anything from nature home with them. If there were a way for presenters to speak up, that would be great. It was difficult for all students to hear the information.
Please include any additional comments you care to make:
We also thought that due to the length of the program a suggestion could be to do 2 stations, break for snack, and then continue with the last two stations. Kids are always happier with a full belly!
