| Description: | This project helps to support a partnership between the BLM Moab Field Office and an outdoor education organization to establish a Hands on the Land field camp site in order to highlight and expand educational opportunities for students concerning nature, natural cycles and scientific observations. This project supports and works in conjunction with middle school curricula while providing students with “hands on” experiences in an outdoor field classroom. Students will be encouraged to learn about the natural processes, participate in recording and documenting cultural resources such as Ancestral Puebloan rock art, and participate in natural resource enhancement projects such as removal of non-native vegetation. A field camp is located on private property. The students would stay at the field camp for several nights alongside their instructors. The Field Camp will host local Moab eighth grade students. Many local students have never had the opportunity to sleep outdoors or to be immersed in and explore their own backyards. Students from all walks of life experience the natural elements and leave this outdoor classroom with greater understanding and appreciation for nature and the outdoor environment. The project entity will offer a limited number of scholarships to students who do not have the financial resources to attend the field camp sessions.
Objectives: a. Project would establish an identified Hands on the Lands field camp. |
