Place-Based Research, Grant-Writing, and Restoration: 4th Graders Design and Restore Critical Riparian Habitat

  • Inhaltsangabe

  • Greg teaches reading, writing, listening, and speaking to his 4th graders at Union Street Charter School, a public rural elementary school in Humboldt County, California. He simultaneously gets students outside and lets them get their hands dirty. His ongoing local land restoration unit, in partnership with a land trust and a native plant nursery, asks students to research native flora, use database evidence and expert advice to justify and present their choices for the most beneficial and appropriate native plants for the project, write a grant, and then complete the restoration project.


    “It’s a powerful way to tie kids to the land…We are part of this land, and we are expected to care for it.” – Greg Gaeira
