Since the fall of 2015, Capitol Land Trust has hosted Olympic Middle School 7th graders at Bayshore Preserve in Shelton, WA. Students visit the preserve to gain a connection with the local landscape and participate in hands-on lessons in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (FieldSTEM®). In collaboration with Pacific Education Institute, Shelton School District, and Puget Sound Estuarium, the program serves 300+ students each year. The FieldSTEM program is designed to supplement classroom learning and is aligned with Next Generation Science Standards.
Students explore hands-on topics in stream ecology, stream flow, tidal ecosystems and the effects of salinity on vegetation while also learning about local conservation efforts and environmental restoration.
Be a part of our dedicated team of community volunteers! We provide a field training and ask that volunteers sign up for at least one field day.
Introduction training
This training is set up for first-time volunteers who want to learn more before participating in the field training.
