The SCOPE Program
The Forest Service and Southeast Island School District are working together to build a unique, outdoor education program called SCOPE: Students Classifying, Observing and Probing their Environment. SCOPE unites Forest Service professionals, community volunteers, the School District Administration, a host of dedicated teachers and the students from 9 rural communities in Southeast Alaska in a year of learning, playing and exploring in the local environment.
Activities range from consensus and curriculum building
with teachers, School District administrators, and resource management
professionals to development of the EcoVan concept and outdoor activities
like the Summer School Bike Trip and watershed monitoring and restoration
projects. The SCOPE program is funded by Payments to States money earmarked
for "forest education."
