ENV-508: Lancaster Watershed Exploration

How can we inspire student action that conserves and protects our neighborhood and our watershed? Use interdisciplinary and multimodal approaches to investigate the connections between nature, ecology, and history of the Lancaster, Pennsylvania area. Throughout this three-day course, we will develop creative practices to foster environmental literacy and student engagement in the classroom. We will begin with local explorations and travel to field sites to investigate the intersection between ecology and history and its influence on the Chesapeake Bay. Experience the joy of learning and design opportunities to connect students to outdoor investigations and community actions. [ 3 credits ]
