16.01.2022 Native secrets In Geography our students learned about environmental change and land management. They were able to see this theory work in a real setting at Native Secrets. Students engaged in a tour of the property investigating how the land management processes have changed the local environment.... Their website states, We created Native Secrets as a way to reignite old conversations and preserve generational knowledge. Along the way, we discovered a way to reinvigorate small ecosystems by managing overgrown populations of white cypress. Students enjoyed the learning experience and relating what they have been learning in class to a real world experience. #SSCDUB
