Comprehensive Community Environmental Inventory, Yarmouth, Maine.
Bennett, Dean B.
This manual is a compilation and evaluation of data gathered from an inventory of the natural and man-made features of a community (Yarmouth, Maine). It brings together comprehensive information which may help local governmental officials, citizens, and students gain a broad understanding of their environment and its associated problems. Organization of the material is based on information from "Guidelines for Planning and Implementing a Comprehensive Community Environmental Inventory," SE 014 440. It provides descriptions of: (1) natural environmental features and characteristics of the Yarmouth, Maine, region, (2) human environmental use areas and characteristics, (3) interpretation and evaluation of natural and man-made environments together with possible problem areas, and (4) related social, political, and economic aspects. The data portrays an example of basic information upon which a school may develop an environmental education curriculum emphasis. Teachers may find this type of inventory useful in planning field trips, directing student initiated environmental investigations and problem-solving activities, and developing teaching units, mini-courses and other curriculum plans. This work was prepared under an ESEA Title III contract. (BL)
