Developing a New Wetland Habitat
Bernard, Rosalie
Techniques: Connecting Education and Careers, v81 n4 p26-27 Apr 2006
This article features a project at Ohio's Miami Valley Career Technology Center (MVCTC) which has made a real difference in the wetland environment on campus. The goals of the wetland project were to replace a poorly functioning tile system and develop two wetland areas for local and migratory wildlife. The environmental/natural resources students at MVCTC assisted the Montgomery County Soil and Water Conservation District (which had three of the MVCTC environmental science graduates on staff) in selecting the site on the campus based on hydric soil conditions. The students also assisted with the design and survey for the new wetland. Once the wetland was completed, the environmental science/natural resources students utilized their motion-sensitive camera to photograph several species of wildlife feeding or watering around the wetland at night. The wetland serves not only as a responsible project to complete for the environment, but also as an education and training facility for current and future MVCTC agriculture students.
