Welcome to Plum Landing.
"Pin the Moose on the Mountain."
We're on a mission for Plum.
We're making our own mountain.
I'm Harry, and this is my brother, Cornell,
and my sister, Bianca.
We're drawing the mountain.
I'm going to draw some lakes, a little stream here and trees.
I'm working on the grass.
I'm doing two colors of green.
Plum and the kids explored Mount X,
but we're going to explore Mount Beautiful Future.
We're trying to show the biodiversity of this mountain.
Biodiversity is all the living things
that are living in this area.
These are the living things I'm going to place on the mountain.
We have the "Meet Us on the Mountain" handout
that we found on the Plum Landing website.
It has pictures and information on the animals and plants
that live on our mountain.
It says on our cards that where it lives, how it lives
and what it likes to eat in its diet.
We should put an animal that likes to eat an animal
next to each other.
That would make sense because that's how the animal lives,
eating off of what it likes.
Bianca, you start.
White bark pine tree.
The white bark pine is an important source of food
for many birds and small mammals,
including the Clark's nutcracker.
I'll put a pine tree zone over here.
It has everything the plant needs.
It needs water, soil and sunlight,
and that's what it gets.
My moose now can go to Bianca's tree.
My moose is a vegetarian,
so it can eat leaves and bark from Bianca's tree.
Hey, my wolf would eat your moose.
My rabbit would not want to be near your wolf,
because your wolf would eat it.
But I still need to put it in the pine forest
because it would want to eat the twigs that are there.
What about my lichen?
I wonder where it would like to be.
Lichens can grow almost anywhere--
in really hot, cold, or even toxic areas.
"Toxic" means poisonous.
I think my lichen would most be happy to be is near the water.
My last creature is the mourning cloak butterfly.
They live in the trees and fold their wings back
so they can hide against dark bark of the trees.
This butterfly camouflages near the tree,
because that's how it hides and lives.
Alpine forget-me-not.
They are food for several kinds of butterfly and moth.
I'm going to put it in the same zone as the butterfly
so the butterfly has something to eat.
I think Plum and the kids saw some alpine forget-me-nots
when they climbed Mount X.
I'm going to put another ground squirrel in this meadow.
I think he can find thingsto eat in this zone
such as insects, berries and other delicious things
like nuts.
This eats this,this eats that,
that eats leaves, because it's a plant.
It's fun to think about all the different animals and plants
and how they dependon each other
in our Mount Beautiful Futureecosystem.
