Home Facilities Programs Curriculum ... Store Ecology Education on the Southern Coast of Maine What Programs Does Ferry Beach Provide? Ferry Beach Ecology School (FBES) is a non-profit educational organization dedicated to providing ecological education to 3rd-8th grade classes. Our interdisciplinary ecology curriculum focuses on teaching hands-on lessons in basic ecology by using the outdoors as a classroom a classroom where learning occurs through exploration, scientific investigation, discovery and sensory awareness. FBES naturalists take students to a variety of ecosystems residential programs , as well as day programs and outreach programs to public and private schools. Why Do Classes Come to Ferry Beach? A trip to FBES can be a once in a lifetime opportunity for students to explore and learn about ecosystems such as tidepools, beaches, dunes, salt marshes and coastal forests- places that many of them may never have seen before. The experience of being away from home and learning to live with and get along with others is also invaluable. School teachers from all over New England use this experience as an integral part of their science curriculum. Pre-visit and post-visit activity manuals as well as free teacher training during your visit to Ferry Beach Ecology School help to ensure that the week can be incorporated into the regular school year. On lessons , students learn to use disciplines such as oceanography, geology, biology, chemistry, climatology and history as tools for understanding ecosystems, organisms, and ultimately, their relationship to the world they live in. FBES naturalists address different learning styles and make learning challenging and fun by using a variety of teaching tools including; activities, games, props, field notebooks and skits and songs. Students also benefit greatly through living with others, and learn personal responsibility by performing various duties during their stay such as setting up their

The Rich Hole Wilderness HOME Rich Hole Wilderness Home Table of Contents The Finder ... Glossary Index and Introduction This is a unit of the Lasting Forests website describing the Rich Hole Wilderness , a U.S. Forest Service area of the Jefferson and George Washington National Forest in Alleghany County, Virginia, and related wilderness and ancient forest concepts. The author once sought a PhD program for him to advance his knowledge of Aldo Leopold's concept of land health and its base datum of normalcy . He participated in reserving the Rich Hole with M. Leon Powell, and with the University of Idaho (Dr. Paul Dalke), in acquiring its wilderness research center. Jessee Overcash of the U. S. Forest Service and Giles are shown on a visit to the the Rich Hole Wilderness in 1998. They stand beside an ash tree. You may see the Contents of this wilderness-related web site unit. A University of Georgia course on wilderness is now on the web but it requires a password or authorization for use. The authors are Michael Tarrent and Tamela L. Kibler. A Wilderness Information Network also exists out of the University of Montana. It contains news, library, and other resources.

35. Wilderness Ecology And Ancient Forests Ancient forests, Future forests Comments on a Paper Before the Virginia Chapterof the Wilfdlife Society, 1998. We have 67% of the forests we had in 1600. http://fwie.fw.vt.edu/rhgiles/richholewild/speech1.htm

The Rich Hole Wilderness HOME Rich Hole Wilderness Home Table of Contents The Finder ... Glossary Ancient Forests, Future Forests: Comments on a Paper Before the Virginia Chapter of the Wilfdlife Society, 1998 Old-growth or ancient forests is a complex topic. The paper being passed out is a summary, so part of what I have to say today is a summary of a summary. I think there are some key ideas here with which I'd really like you to leave. Before we get started, recall: Forest land has increased by 0.1 % in recent years. 33% of the US is forested. We have 67% of the forests we had in 1600. Land clearance stopped about 1920; it was cranking along at 14 square miles per day for 60 years. Now 6 % of forests are reserved and of this 34% is federal land. Do not forget ... 47 million acres are reserved! We need more? perhaps, but 47 million acres seems substantial in the face of limited use, limited utility, intensive site-specific use, and increasing pressures on land that can grow trees that can be harvested. I once met a family from the plains of the US. They lived near me in Idaho ... a beautiful diverse place with cropland, sagebrush, and fir forests. They thought it unpleasant, fearful, and moved within a year back to the open plains. Their concept of outdoor beauty was that of treeless, flat open plains. That attitude shook me ... I could not imagine any people who did not like the old, deep, dark forest, the smell of the short-tailed shrew, the feel of punky wood, the spongy floor, brookies in the stream, salamanders in the springs, bear claw marks, or the sunbeams on moss in morning, the hum, and the mysterious forms of frontiersmen and Indians behind every tree.

About Delta Land Trust Delta Land Trust Program Services The Ecology of Delta Forests The Economics of Delta Forests ... Adopt An Acre: How You Can Reforest an Acre of Marginal Farmland The Ecology of Delta Forests The Mississippi Alluvial Plain is an area of little topographic relief with an average slope of about .5 feet per mile toward the Gulf of Mexico. For most of the past two million years, the Delta has been dominated by the flow and flooding of the Mississippi River, which was a glacier at various times during this period. Over time the silt created during these glacial periods was blown by prevailing westward winds to form the loess (wind blown silt) bluff on the eastern edge of the alluvial valley. One of the distinct features of the alluvial plain is the formation of natural levees along the banks of the rivers, and the associated backswamp deposits that are dominated by dense alluvial clays and have historically supported extensive wetland areas. The natural levees are formed of lighter silt and sand particles which lacked the mass to carry far from the river or stream channel during flood events, while the heavier clay deposits carried further from the channel and thus formed backswamp areas. These clays have created low permeability soils, which limit the ability of rainwater to infiltrate the ground surface, thus creating wetland soil and hydrology conditions. Vegetative adaptations to the hydrogeomorphology of the alluvial plain have resulted in very specific site/species relationships for bottomland hardwood tree species. For example, cottonwood and sycamore are normally found on natural levees, while bald cypress and tupelo gum are normally occurring in the lowest reaches of the backswamp areas.

Research Projects: Forests Please visit the Forests Group Page for group members, a message board, and other information about this portion of the project. General Project Description Forest Ecology and Natural Resource Management: Course Web Site Thomas Hinckley in Forestry Project Description for Fall 2001 The Fall 2001 Forestry group created a project based around their interest in the causes and effects of erosion. The students designed an experiment to test the effect of different types of foliage - evergreen vs. deciduous - on soil erosion and soil saturation. Because of time constraints, the students studied just the effects of foliage itself, rather than foliage plus trunks and roots, using branches with an average leaf and branch density appropriate to the time of year with the greatest rainfall in the area to cover boxes of soil, then wet the soil at a rate approximating rainfall and looked at the amount of water flow throughthe branches/soil and the amount of soil erosion. Project Description for Fall 2000 The link above will take you to the project description posted early in fall quarter of last year, describing the original project plan for last year's freshmen students. Some groups did something quite close to the original plan, while other projects were changed considerably by faculty and students.
