It is the hope of the school district that, by providing this informative website, parents and students will be able to stay well-informed about the Yellowstone field-based learning program. The website will include announcements, access to useful links and resources, and answers to frequently asked questions about the program.
This ecology stewardship program is designed to provide students with hands-on, inquiry-based learning experiences focused on the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (GYE). The program will immerse students in real ecological investigations and cultivate a love of science.
Hands-on learning in the natural world is considered an essential experience for academic development
Outcomes from field-based learning:
