ENV-514: South Mountain Climate and Land Use 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, culture, and history of south-central Pennsylvania. Throughout the course, we will develop creative practices to foster environmental literacy and student engagement in the classroom. The five-day program will consist of local explorations that include a trip to the Carbaugh Run Rhyolite Quarry Site to investigate the intersection between culture and geology 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 ]
