Introduction
Our project goal is to introduce students to the State or National Parks in their local area by investigating their park, gathering information, and sharing the information with others.
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.
