The Shenendehowa Campus Field
Study Area
At Shenendehowa, we are extremely fortunate to
have a large, beautiful campus that offers a variety of ecosystems that
are invaluable for the study of biology. For many years, biology
teachers at Shen have been taking their classes to an open meadow behind
High School West, referred to as the Field Study Area (also known as
"the bowl" by many students). This area provides an
ideal location for the study of a variety of topics including:
-
ecological relationships
-
ecological succession
-
plant identification
-
application of field
sampling methods
-
estimating plant and
animal population sizes
-
protection of endangered
species
