Satellite View of Chesapeake Bay





This satellite image shows the extensive shoreline of Chesapeake Bay where Edgewater, MD is located. Here are a few questions for you to think about:
1.What type of wetland would be found near the bay?
2. How will the forest of this area be different from the LaVille Woods?
3. We will be studying one hectare plots of forest. How large is a hectare?
4. What kind of data do you think we could gather to monitor a forest?
5.How do you think a warming climate might change this data in the future?

The dorm at the Smithsonian research station


The whole team of teachers will be staying in this dorm. We will be eating breakfast and dinner together and packing a lunch to take into the forest. What else should I take with me each day in my backpack?
