River Walk: A community-oriented nature project

by: Marcyes D. Schmaus

In this activity, the Tongue River is a natural teaching focus because the school is named for the river and everyone crosses over it to get to school. During the addition of a town park on the banks of the river, students helped build trails and since the addition of the park, students have studied the watershed of the river and worked with local government and state agencies on other aspects of the river and park.
