9730087 Gates ABSTRACT: The Department of Geological Sciences at Rutgers, in collaboration with the Liberty Science Center, the New York State Museum, Palisades Interstate Park Commission, Appalachian Trail Conference, and ABS-Capital Cities, Inc., has a planning grant to develop a universal model that will encourage science education in conjunction with outdoor recreational activities in wilderness parks near urban centers. The initial effort will focus on the Harriman and Bear Mountain State Parks and the Sterling Forest lands, all near New York City. Current plans for the full project include development of: 1) an illustrated guidebook describing the features chosen as "exhibits" at the sites, 2) a map showing locations of the "exhibits", 3) plaques marking the features of the exhibits, 4) proposals for new trails to access outstanding botanical and geological features, 5) a web site with virtual reality filed trips of the sites chosen, 6) museum displays and media programs at Liberty Science Center, the New York State Museum, and other sites, 7) regular field trips from Liberty Science Center, New York State Museum, and Bear Mountain Trailside Museum, 8) workshops for high school teachers, and 9) special project to get more public use of the park resources. During the planning stage the project will gather data on public interest, determine the most effective means of dissemination, identify and contact other organizations and scientist that could contribute to the full project, and develop a coordination plan and schedule for this complex project. Small examples and/or written descriptions of the web-site, the guidebook stops, museum displays, and field trips will also be produced in the planning phase.

小行星9730087 摘要：罗格斯大学地质科学系与自由科学中心、纽约州立博物馆、帕利塞兹州际公园委员会、阿巴拉契亚步道会议和ABS-Capital Cities，Inc.合作，有一个规划拨款，以发展一个普遍的模式，将鼓励科学教育与户外娱乐活动在城市中心附近的荒野公园。 最初的努力将集中在哈里曼和熊山州立公园和斯特林森林的土地，都靠近纽约市。 目前整个项目的计划包括开发：1）一本附有插图的指南，描述在这些地点被选为“展品”的特征，2）一张显示“展品”位置的地图，3）标记展品特征的牌匾，4）关于进入杰出植物和地质特征的新路径的建议，5）一个网站，提供所选地点的虚拟现实实地旅行，6）在自由科学中心，纽约州立博物馆和其他地点的博物馆展览和媒体节目，7）自由科学中心，纽约州立博物馆和熊山小道博物馆的定期实地考察，8）高中教师的研讨会，9）让更多公众使用公园资源的特别项目。 在规划阶段，该项目将收集有关公众利益的数据，确定最有效的传播手段，确定和联系可能对整个项目作出贡献的其他组织和科学家，并为这一复杂项目制定协调计划和时间表。 在规划阶段，还将制作网站、导游站、博物馆展览和实地考察的小例子和/或书面说明。
