Environmental Caretakers Project Dominica Community High School Roseau Valley, Dominica Summer 2006! We spent two weeks with DCHS teachers Bertilia Bethel-Victor and Nara Winston and nearly 30 of their students kicking off their Environmental Caretakers program! The teachers designed a program to integrate Environmental goals into their curriculum with field trips and exercises, sponsored by Dominica Electricity Services and the National Marine Sanctuaries White Water 2 Blue Water program. Vanessa Prevost of the SUN Foundation provided composting training and SEA staff with the assistance of Forestry officers and the Scott’s Head/ Soufriere Marine Reserve instructed the students in Ridge to Reef Watershed conservation. .They even learned to snorkel!! The RainForest Aerial Tram taught about the rain forest and provided a tram ride for the students The students are growing trees in their newly constructed shade house to replant areas along the river to reduce erosion and evaporation. Their long term project is to start a composting program for the Roseau Valley to be housed at the school. Project pictures | ||
