Progress report for YENC25-233
Project Information
Our intention is to connect participants with land and place through reflective farming practices to cultivate both personal and environmental resilience to climate change. By mapping personal inputs and outputs related to the ecosystem and community, participants develop meaningful relationships with human and non-human workers in the environment to create a united front against climate change. This front includes microbial cultures, solar technology, climate resilient seeds, wild crops, water mapping, food preservation, and more. We provide a blend of active instruction, experiential observation, and personal reflection for participants to empower themselves and the environment.
- Enhance Ecological Literacy
Develop five students' understanding of ecological systems by examining the relationship between inputs and outputs in farming practices through seven lessons. - Cultivate Microorganism Care Skills
Teach students to culture and maintain beneficial soil microorganisms, fostering hands-on experience in soil health and regenerative practices. - Empower Student-led Showcase
Guide students in planning and facilitating a public showcase where they present their learnings and project outcomes to the community. - Publish Curriculum Workbook
Create and publish an online workbook detailing the program curriculum, making it freely available as a downloadable PDF for community-wide and remote learning access.
