Beech's "Wetland & Nature Trail Environmental Education" project involves restoring a swamp near Allentown Elementary to a constructed wetland with wildlife and environmental study areas and nature trails. Through scientific observation of the constructed wetland, all grade levels learn about the complex workings and interrelationships of plants, animals, and humans. By examining water quality, variety of wildlife, pollution factors, and other data, participants gain knowledge of their environment and increase information-gathering skills.
