ACTION PROJECTS

At Carver Elementary, our EcoSchools Action Plan is the foundation of our schoolwide commitment to environmental learning, student leadership, and biodiversity conservation. Guided by the EcoSchools U.S. 7-Step Process and the principles of the EcoSchools Framework, our Action Plan is designed to be student-driven, place-based, and solutions-oriented. Each project within the plan addresses a local environmental issue—such as habitat loss, stormwater runoff, or biodiversity decline—while also connecting to global movements like the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 4 (Quality Education), SDG 14 (Life Below Water), SDG 15 (Life on Land), and SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals). Developed through collaboration between students, educators, and our community partners, our Action Plan reflects systems thinking, real-world learning, and a shared vision for a more sustainable future. These actions are not isolated lessons—they are interconnected efforts that empower students to lead, investigate, restore, and advocate as environmental stewards of the Ogeechee River Basin.
