Our ESY 12 field trip to Halfway River, was a great outdoor experience. I never thought that 'running' around and searching for animals could be so much fun! Especially when you find a baby snapping turtle. It was amazing how small the turtle was and yet it was out on its own defending for itself; I never knew turtles had such long tails! He did become tense as we continued to handle him, but this was probably due to the fact that he had never seen a human before and thought we were going to eat him. - a student
