The latest Integrated Environmental Science news
This week in Integrated Environmental Science, 9th graders researched and shared information pertaining to a forest pest of their choice. Forest pests included Asian Jumping Worms, the Asian Longhorned Beetle, Spongy Moths, Winter Moths, the Emerald Ash Borer, the Hemlock Woolly Adelgid, and the Butternut Canker! Forest pests, including invasive species, have the ability to drastically change the forest ecosystem. They can have far-reaching impacts on our environment and economy, including negative impacts on human agriculture, recreation and health. See pictures from our student presentations below.
