"Maagista," sanoi joku kun nousi riippumatosta lepohetken jälkeen. Ja mikäpä oli metsässä kesätuulen keikutellessa lepäillessä - Karhukallion huomassa kuultiin kanteletta, jouhikkoa, viulua, koshia, ja myös korppia, paria pienempää lintua sekä Jokerin ja puiden huminoita. Seikkailutaidekoulu loi taas tunnelmallisen hengähdyshetken. Tästä alkoi jälleen Luontokoulu Stoan lähimetsäkausi!

Lauantaina 28.8. Suomen luonnonpäivänä Karhukalliolle ripustetaan taas riippumatot kun metsäiselle näyttämölle astuu jouhikkotaituri Pekko Käppi. Vapaa pääsy, tervetuloa!
