Hi, Steve and SAEd,

Good to hear about your new project.

I was pleased to recently have seen the grounds of the Stratford Ecological
Center in Ohio and the sustainable ag & gardening work they are doing with
children who they invite to visit the center for field trips, etc. Clever
educators, nice grounds, thoughtful set-up for volunteers.

Their e-mail is:

Secenter@aol.com

Also, since you are based at a school full-time, bird/butterfly gardening
could complement via the newish teacher curriculum called Classroom
FeederWatch from the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology here in Ithaca. I've
done some research on the FeederWatch project this year. They offer an
inquiry-based approach to science via birds (about grades 4-7) -- it's
terrific. For me, birds and gardens go together.

Two good names/e-mails at the Lab of Ornithology for FeederWatch:

Meredith Kusch mk114@cornell.edu

Rick Bonney reb5@cornell.edu



Best to you and Susan,

Nancy Gs
