ENV-515: Worcester County to Tangier Island

How can we use the tidal marshes, maritime forests, and estuarine beaches of the Eastern Shore as beneficial outdoor classrooms and create curricular inspiration that spark wonder and curiosity in learning? Join CBF and fellow Worcester County teachers for three full days of field-based study in the heart of the Chesapeake and CBF's Port Isobel Island Environmental Education Center near Tangier Island, VA. There we will explore the unique and varied habitats and history of the Chesapeake Bay. Participants will experience the wonder of watershed ecology firsthand while studying the plants and animals of the Bay's brackish water system. Be a part of developing the plan to integrate environmental literacy throughout a student's education career with Worcester County Public Schools. [ 3 credits ]
