A little bit about me and the project:
I am working on my senior project from Prescott College. I was born and raised in the Florida Keys and moved away to attend college in Arizona. Coming back to fulfill my commitment to my community in the Keys, I have decided to create an all native plant habitat for my undergraduate degree.
The project is titled More Nature and has a specific goal in mind; to teach environmental education to students in public schools along with providing a place where environmental e
ducation can be taught. I hope the project will catch on to other schools located through out the Florida keys in time to come and spread awareness about our diverse and fragile ecosystems. With an all native plant habitat used as an outdoor classroom centered in the heart of the school, students will be able to experience learning in all academic areas including math, language arts, reading, social studies and science. In turn this will enable hands on and stimulating learning for all ages.
There will be a variety of plant species ranging from Seagrape, Herb of Grace, Cuban Jute, Buttonwood, Thatch Palm, Slash Pine, and Milkweed to attract butter flies. A curriculum will be designed for teachers to use at their will and to ensure proper environmental education.
Paramount to any new initiative is the support of the community financially. Support can be derived from grants, fund raising, donations and time. If you feel you can help you will be sure to know you are touching lives of students for generations to come. Please contact me if you are interested in the project itself or interested in generously donating your time, money or materials.
