Greenville High School Summer Opportunities for Students! #GHSBlog The Huyck Preserve and Biological Research Station is a local resource for environmental education and ecological research in Rensselaerville. Its summer programs include enriching opportunities for high school students. The Natural History Day Program for Grades 6-10 is a week-long program that introduces students to field investigations in such topics as forest, behavior, community, invasive, and aquatic ecology. The week includes a short research project done in teams in which students will pick a topic to study, collect and analyze their data, and present their results in a poster to their classmates. The program is held from 9 am – 4 pm. Session 1 runs July 6th – 10th, and Session 2 runs July 13th – 17th. Wildlife Ecology Research for Grades 11-12 is an intensive three-week program where rising junior and senior high school students learn basic ecological principles through hands-on research experience. Students live and work together at the field station, learning ecology and performing small group research projects under the instruction and guidance of scientists and researchers of all levels. Session one runs July 5th – 26th, and Session 2 runs August 2nd – 23rd. For more information and to apply, visit http://ift.tt/1xqA0BV or contact the Huyck Preserve at 797-3440.
