Time
& Location
Project
Learning Tree(Grades preK-8)
Project Learning Tree is an award-winning, interdisciplinary
environmental education program for educators working
with students in Pre-K through grade 12 (this workshop
for preK-8). PLT helps students gain awareness and knowledge
of the natural and built environment, their place within
it, as well as their responsibility for it. (This 6-hour workshop partially fulfills 1 of 7 required
workshops for Criteria I of the EE Certification. Homework
must be done to complete.)
Project
WET (Grades K-12)
Project WET (Water Education for Teachers) is an international
water science and education program for educators of students
in grades K-12. The goal of Project WET is to facilitate
and promote the awareness, appreciation, knowledge and
stewardship of water resources through the development
and dissemination of classroom-ready teaching aids and
the establishment of state and internationally sponsored
Project WET programs.
(This 6-hour workshop partially fulfills 1 of 7 required
workshops for Criteria I of the EE Certification. Homework

Hammocks
Beach State Park, Sea Turtle Trek (Grades 5-8)
This EELE will prepare educators to bring their students
to Hammocks Beach State Park, an island, 3.5 miles long
and less than a mile wide, bordered by the Atlantic
Ocean to the south and by salt marshes, estuarine creek
and the Intracoastal Waterway to the north. Shrub thickets
and maritime forest create a wilderness environment
and large dunes and sand ridges dominate the landscape.
Perhaps the most interesting animal found on the island
is the loggerhead sea turtle. Come learn more about
the ecology of the island and the life of the loggerhead! (This 6-hour workshop partially fulfills 1 of 7 required

TITLE/DESCRIPTION
Shoreline
Restoration and Historic Beaufort Walk
The Duke Marine Lab, located on Pivers Island, has used
wooden and rock bulwarks for decades to declare its border
with the sound. In an innovative cooperative effort, these
are being torn down on one side of the island, and replaced
with marsh grasses, oyster beds, and other natural shoreline
components. Visit the site and learn about the restoration
process with Tracy Skrabal, Senikor Staff Scientist, NOrth
Carolina Coastal Federation. Following the discussion,
you'll have free time to explore and enjuoy the Historic
Beaufort waterfront where you can visit the NC maritime
and boat-building museums, shop, eat ice cream or fudge,
or just stroll.
Shackleford
Banks Barrier Island Exploration
We'll start our trip with a short boat ride from the
Beaufort waterfront to Shackleford Banks, one of the
three undeveloped islands comprising Cape Lookout National
Seashore. We'll then hike across the island from the
sound to the beach, stopping to talk about barrier island
flora and fauna and keeping an eye out for the resident
hourses that inhabit the island. After reaching the
beach, we'll do a fun activity about barrier island
dynamics, explore the beach habitat, and look for shells,
shorebirds, and other fascinating creatures. This trip
is led by Deb Hall of the NC Coastal Federation and
Jeannie Krauss of the NC Maritime Museum.
FULL. A wait list is
being kept prioritized by date registration was received.
Beach
Renourishment at Pine Knoll Shores
We all love the beach, but beaches naturally "move." The
ocean naturally steals sand from one location to bequeath
to another, and humans can speed up or slow down this
process through our buildings and piers. Our homes and
hotels provide "measuring sticks" by which we define where
we want a beach to be. Should we replace shifting sands
for our own benefit? If so, what methods are more successful
and environmentally benign? Take a field trip with expert
Mike Orbach, Director of the Duke Marine Lab to discuss
these difficult choices.
The
FerryMon Project
Estuaries play a critical role in the health of marine
ecosystems, and our very own Pamlico Sound is one of the
largest US estuaries. This estuary is facing some critical
water quality challenges, but unfortunately, we know less
about the Pamlico Sound than we know about some of its
peers, such as the Chesapeake Bay. Therefore, the Duke
University Marine Laboratory, the UNC Institute of Marine
Science, and the NC-DOT Ferry division have developed
an innovative data gathering program in the Sound called
FerryMon. This field trip will start at the Cherry Branch
ferry landing and include a one-hour round trip ferry
ride on the Neuse River Ferry discussing and showing you
how the water quality data is collected, stored and analyzed.
Dr. Joe Ramus, project director of FerryMon, and professor
at Duke's marine lab, will host the field trip.
Nature
Drawing and Journaling
Experience the splendid environment of the Trinity Center
through observing and drawing. In this workshop we will
begin to integrate visual representations of nature into
a sketchbook or journal. Artist and educator Lucia Marcus
will present a variety of approaches and materials. Participants
will be given basic skills and ample time to discover
the inspiration and relaxation that comes when one connects
with nature in this way. Feel free to bring a new or current
sketchbook or journal; however paper and other basic supplies
will be provided. Marcus uses art as a way to celebrate
and embrace the natural world. She creates art in a downtown
Durham studio, and teaches art at the Duke School.
Trek
through the Croatan National Forest led by Jeff Hall
Hike through the Croatan National Forest and learn about
the ecology of longleaf pine forests and their dependence
on fire. Highlights include pitcher plants, venus flytraps,
possibly some orchids, and of course, some interesting
herps! You may also see (or more likely hear) several
endangered species, such as the red-cockaded woodpecker
or bachmann's sparrow!
