Connections
How does the project connect with our theme of people, history,
and place? This project will develop a sense of interdependence in nature
and our community. Students are studying and mapping Long Valley,
looking at the geographical location and natural and human history.
Community members will come in to speak.
How does the project interact with the community?This will take place through speakers and people coming in to
help in the gardens and with landscaping. We hope students will
learn landscaping skills that can be used in the community on
local beautification projects.
How does the project connect with other NCRCN members/ sites?
This project will connect with other NCRCN members and sites through
networking opportunities of students visiting each others' schools
and gardens. We plan to share information about local wildlife
habitats, specifically salmon, natural resource issues and where
we are going as a greater community. Some students will be participating
in collecting precipitation data to share with the other members.
