A Year of Fun Memories

Picture
Wow!  What a year it has been.  Thanks to a number of grants from the Gray Family Foundation, US Forest Service, Medford Schools Foundation, and the Ruch School PTO, junior high students participated in a number of field experiences all over the state of Oregon.  Our place-based educational model promotes local stewardship, outdoor exploration, and a multidisciplinary lens to study the natural world. 

​Some of this year's outdoor field trips included:

​- Citizen science snowshoe project at Crater Lake National Park
​- Native tree planting on riparian restoration site along Applegate River on Earth Day.
​- Overnight coast camping trip in the Redwoods National Park.
​- Whitewater rafting on the Wild & Scenic Rogue River
​- Hiking the Pacific Crest Trail to Hobart Bluff
- Guided hike with the BLM at Lower Table Rock
​- Cob construction with House Alive! to build an outdoor classroom learning bench
​- Visit to White Oak Farm & Education Center
​- Releasing spring chinook salmon into the Rogue River through the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Eggs to Fry Program.

​Below are just a few snapshots and highlights from the year.  Have a great summer and we will see you next year for more advenutres!
