We were delighted to host the ISLE Project to Elk Rock Garden this morning! The ISLE Project is an independent nonprofit organization that provides overnight expeditions in the natural world. ISLE stands for “Integrated Science Learning Experiences” and the 5th and 6th grade students who visited the garden today were on a Headwaters to Ocean (H20) expedition, following the path of a drop of water from the Coastal Range watershed to the Pacific Ocean. Topics highlighted on their expedition will include marine biology, estuary ecology, river dynamics, earth systems, forest ecology, and hydrology. Elk Rock Garden was the first stop on the group’s trek to the Pacific Ocean and this marks the first of several planned visits to Elk Rock Garden this school year.
