John Muir Share The final challenge of the John Muir award was to share our adventures! For this challenge we went to Ness Woods and took lots of pictures of the plants and scenery which we will use to make a video documenting our John Muir award adventures. We have some really good photographers in the group and photo credits for the two flower pictures above go to Jamie!
