The goal of Long Pasture Wildlife Sanctuary’s Living Lab Wetland Project is to collaborate with students and teachers to design and build naturally appearing and functioning wetlands on school grounds for education and conservation.
Long Pasture provides concurrent and ongoing training and educational programming to many of these students including hands-on activities and in-class lessons focused on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).
The addition of a Living Lab wetland on school campuses provides students with unparalleled learning opportunities to investigate rare wetland dependent flora, fauna, and soils, and contribute to the ongoing work in wetland restoration ecology and ecological engineering.
By bringing the "lab" to the school through wetland creation, we make outdoor learning accessible, and more feasible than bussing to off campus study sites. Learn More >
