Everything in our world has a job. Luckily, the students always know that their job is to go to school and study. However, they don't usually know what the jobs of the creatures in our Nature Center and Garden are. The cleanup crew are the ones eliciting the most "ewwwww's"! I tell them that we would be up to our necks in trash and rotten vegetation if it weren't for the beetles, slugs, snails, cockroaches, ants, and various rodents. Butterflies may be more attractive, but just because you aren't quite as glamorous, doesn't mean you don't have a place or important purpose in this world! In the case of the grubs found by the Garden Helpers, the purpose is to be chicken food!
