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.

9730087 Gates 摘要：罗格斯大学地质科学系与自由科学中心、纽约州博物馆、Palisades 州际公园委员会、阿巴拉契亚步道会议和 ABS-Capital Cities, Inc. 合作，获得了一项规划拨款，用于开发一种通用模型，鼓励将科学教育与城市中心附近荒野公园的户外娱乐活动结合起来。 最初的工作将集中在纽约市附近的哈里曼和熊山州立公园以及斯特林森林地。 目前整个项目的计划包括开发：1）一本图文并茂的指南手册，描述所选地点“展品”的特征，2）显示“展品”位置的地图，3）标记展品特征的牌匾，4）建议新路径以访问杰出的植物和地质特征，5）一个网站，其中包含所选地点的虚拟现实旅行，6）自由科学中心的博物馆展示和媒体节目， 纽约州立博物馆和其他景点，7) 自由科学中心、纽约州立博物馆和熊山步道博物馆的定期实地考察，8) 为高中教师举办的研讨会，以及 9) 让更多公众利用公园资源的特别项目。 在规划阶段，该项目将收集有关公共利益的数据，确定最有效的传播方式，确定并联系可以为整个项目做出贡献的其他组织和科学家，并为这个复杂的项目制定协调计划和时间表。 网站、旅游指南站点、博物馆展示和实地考察的小例子和/或书面描述也将在规划阶段制作。
