Next Generation Stewards
Broadens students’ understanding of the connections among the parts of a Pacific Northwest forest. Students record their observations and reflections in a science journal and, during a reflective lesson, take a pledge to become a ‘Next Generation Steward of the Greenway.’ This curriculum works well for 4th-5th grade classes.

Forests and Fins
Focuses on stream/forest ecology and the life cycle of salmon. Students complete a mock stream survey in the classroom in preparation to do a real stream survey on the field study trip. Students work in small groups to analyze the riparian zone, look for macroinvertebrates, test water quality and evaluate the stream channel. This curriculum works well for 5th-8th grade classes.
