No field trips required to see raccoons in the recreational fields and giant fungi on the front lawn! These are just a few of the discoveries made by middle school students in last fall’s Webutuck Quest Schoolyard Program. Led by Cary Institute educators Ashley Alred and Rebecca Van Tassell, the program brings schoolyard ecology lessons to fourth through seventh graders in the Webutuck Central School District. The hands-on lessons bring students outdoors and teach them about the incredible biodiversity that thrives just outside their school. 🚨 #Teachers #Educators - great news! Funding is available to expand the program to other #Hudsonvalley school districts! #STEMEducation #stemeducationforkids Learn more: https://lnkd.in/eujNkqAB

Maine Students Develop Own Paths in Human Ecology On my recent college visit trip to Maine, I uncovered another hidden gem that is a great option for students interested in the field of human ecology. At the College of the Atlantic (COA) in Bar Harbor, ME, all of the approximately 350 students design their own degree in human ecology by choosing clusters of topics in different related areas that most intrigue them (from farming & food systems to biomedical studies & molecular biology to sustainable business to marine science, and more)! The unique COA approach is interdisciplinary and experiential, with a focus on working collaboratively for positive change. This small private college is located on Mount Desert Island, in the Acadia National Park, which provides easy access to an amazing outdoor laboratory of bays, mountains, trees, and wildlife. As you might expect, their focus on sustainability is easily seen on campus with their farm and forest properties, community gardens, sustainable buildings, and policies for waste minimization & recycling. I love their community connections - one example being the on-campus Dorr Museum of Natural History in which visitors and community members can learn about the natural history of Maine through interactive displays and programs - all of which are designed and produced by COA students. My impression of campus was that it had a decidedly laid back feel and quite a lot of happy students who loved being able to direct their own studies and pursue academics in a less scripted way than many other traditional colleges offer. The strong sense of community extended from the cottage-like residences to the easy to access outdoor activities (kayaking, sailing,etc.) to the wide variety of delicious food options at the dining hall, accommodating vegan, vegetarian, and carnivore diets alike. COA draws students from over 40 states and 45 countries. All students complete an internship and a senior capstone project as part of their degree program. COA’s holistic admissions process is test-optional and they specifically look for students demonstrating intellectual curiosity, a love of learning, and an ability to thrive in a self-directed environment. If you know of a student interested in some aspect of human ecology, this may be an option for consideration. There are many colleges and universities available to students, depending on their interests and career goals. Confident College Planning helps families uncover a variety of new options they may not have heard of and guides students all throughout the application process.

I love learning what the researchers are up to... read the full article to learn about each of our three summer research technicians independent research!
Seeds, Salamanders, Species Composition, and Tree Mortality at Holt Research Forest It’s been one month since our 2024 Summer Research Technicians arrived, and Holt Research Forest has been bustling with activity. Our Research Fellow, Paulina Murray, and three Summer Research Technicians have been working collaboratively and independently to explore a variety of lines of inquiry into the property’s forest ecology. Under Paulina’s guidance, the regeneration inventory has been completed, and S-1 data collection is well underway. Both procedures aim to investigate regeneration dynamics in the forest, focusing on seedling growth into saplings. During inclement weather, the technicians have been making great progress in counting and sorting 2023 tree seeds, a task that requires exceptional attention to detail as well as significant patience for tedium. When not engaged in inventorying, seed sorting, or S-1 data collection, the research technicians diligently work on their own research.

Sixth grade science at Beaver is called "The Science of Place". I've always felt that appreciating and developing a deep knowledge of the place that you live in is at the root of science learning. Coupling that with learning from people who are indigenous to those lands and whose traditional knowledge about a place are so rich was a great privilege. See below for a post about my 6th grade spring ecology unit: https://lnkd.in/e-afBy3w
