WOODLAND — Marine biologist John Ford offered students at Woodland Public Schools’ Lewis River Academy a presentation and hands-on lesson about bones on April 26. After nearly 30 years of visiting Woodland annually, his visit marked his return after a nearly three-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Ford shared his expertise and enthusiasm about the world that exists beneath the ocean’s surface, from giant whales to the smallest tidepool inhabitants.
