Karst & Caves of Southeast Alaska -
A Teacher's Resource

 

Thanks to an innovative partnership, teachers throughout the state now have the opportunity to teach their children about the incredible karst resources of Southeast Alaska.

In 1998, the Tongass partnered with the University of Alaska-Southeast to produce a karst and cave curriculum. However, only 50 copies of the curriculum were produced in this first effort-and they were quickly snapped up!

In 2003, Terry Fifield formed a partnership with the Thorne Bay School to hire a developmentally-challenged student to produce 500 copies of the curriculum on CD. These CDs will be distributed throughout Alaska, and the curriculum is available in PDF format.
