Vegetation MeasurementShort Description: This program allows students to conduct a full scientific investigation in the schoolyard to learn about plant composition (what kind of plants are present), plant-cover (how much of the ground is covered in plants), and plant size. We use vegetation monitoring protocols to measure plants in two different sites (e.g., edge vs. center of area, arroyo vs. non-arroyo). The sites we choose will depend on the characteristics of the land near your school.
*You need an area of native vegetation within easy walking distance of your school for this program.
