Autotroph: Plant, Tree

An Autotroph is an organism that is capable of synthesizing its own food from inorganic substances, using light or chemical energy. At the 4-H Camp at Las Posadas, the campers and staff members sleep in the wilderness, under the stars at night. Everyone is put into tribes and I was on the Cap’n Crunch tribe. There are many activities everyone gets to do and one of the main one is the Nature Hike. On this hike, you learn all about the forest and the plants in it. You learn that all the trees and plants that surround us are autotrophs.
