Since the fall of 2015, Capitol Land Trust has hosted Olympic Middle School 7th graders at Bayshore Preserve in Shelton, WA. Students visit the preserve to gain a connection with the local landscape and participate in hands-on lessons in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (FieldSTEM®). In collaboration with Pacific Education Institute, Shelton School District, and Puget Sound Estuarium, the program serves 300+ students each year.
This training will introduce you to the interesting history of Bayshore Preserve, each of the four stations the students will participate in, and your role as a volunteer. The four stations are: Freshwater macro invertebrates (stream bugs), stream flow and habitat, tidal life, and salinity.
Station leaders are community volunteers who have completed this training. After attending the training, volunteers are able to sign up to teach and assist in lessons. This is a required training of the FieldSTEM® program.
