This project is designed to introduce students to the role that they can play in the stewardship of their community’s state parks. Through stewardship, students will gain an understanding that although we don’t own the resources, we are responsible for their condition. Through the completion of this project, students will discover that every decision made is consequential and that in order to be an effective advocate they will need to organize priorities with regards to their informed understanding governmental processes, the rights and obligations of citizenship, as well as understanding the local and global implications of civic decisions.

When Dr. Jess Parker, head of SERC's Forest Ecology Lab, walks through a forest, he looks up. The forest canopy is a microclimate of its own, one that absorbs sunlight and rain, removes particles like dust and pollen, and even affects the pH of rainwater as it makes its way down to the forest floor. The forest ceiling houses the machinery of photosynthesis, controls the growth of the entire forest, and provides habitat for many organisms.

Their stories and traditions link them to the natural world in which they live. Through songs, dances, and ceremonies, the Native people of the North Pacific Coast honor their past and celebrate their present. Start your visit at the National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, D.C. where you will hear stories of eleven different Native communities from the North Pacific Coast. See how they present their own stories and give voice to their own world views through the museum's collection. Then, with the help of the Sealaska Heritage Institute, take a trip to Juneau, Alaska! Students can enjoy the abundance of the rich Alaskan environment, learn about the importance of family in Alaska Native communities, and find out about the significance of cultural expression through art, language, and traditional customs.
