Connor Trast, 11, right, turns an ice auger on Academy Pond in Baker Park Reserve Near-Wilderness Settlement during the Three Rivers Park District's Webelos Naturalist Badge program Sunday, Feb. 5, in Maple Plain. About 40 Webelos split into two groups for the two-hour event. This group, led by Naturalist Chad Hollinbeck, left, tested ice thickness, water temperature, and found animal tracks and other signs of deep Winter wildlife.
