A.D. Harris High in Panama City
PLT School Coordinator: Leon Mays
During A.D. Harris’s PLT Woods Week, teachers were encouraged during to do a lesson concerning forest education and conservation. Teachers incorporate PLT activities into a variety of classes including Life Management, Counseling, Math, Health, Science, and Social Studies. Interested students took a field trip to the Bear Creek Feline Center to observe wildlife in a natural setting for the Woods, Weather and Wildlife Earth Day Celebration.
Led by Media Specialist Summer Zephyr, the Science Department has developed a four-part project named “Go Native”. The four parts include a Victory Garden (spotlight endangered species), an All Natural Make-over (service-learning project at demonstration houses), Plant Fusion (outreach education to members of the community through presentations and handouts), and Wetlands: The Secret Garden (demonstration garden). The overall purpose is to show practical ways to incorporate native plant species into home landscapes.
