Participants will explore the work of the meandering river, build a model river, and walk along the river to see how it affects the land, plants, and animals. The children will be led by an experienced guide from Mill River Wetland Committee’s (MRWC) River-Lab Program which has served the Fairfield Public School System for over 50 years.
