Let's Keep the Conversation Going

I think we've seen and discussed interesting things in this blog. As part of my contract with Earthwatch, I've promised to do some project to involve the community in conservation. So I plan on posting my progress here and I hope my students, or their parents, or others in the Madison HS community, or heck, purt near ANYBODY, will comment and discuss the project here.

My project idea is based on a newspaper article I read in October, before I was awarded the Earthwatch fellowship. The article detailed a yearly nature walk by visually impaired persons at Comanche Lookout Park here in San Antonio. Here's my idea: to involve the Lions' Club, San Antonio Parks and my APES (or other Madison students) to identify the plants along the trail, post markers and provide a Podcast that can be downloaded to assist people in learning about native and non-native plants in our area. Tell me what you think here.
