Northwest Corps of Re-Discovery

波特兰州立大学与俄勒冈历史学会、哥伦比亚河历史中心、美国大都会地区绿地和美国森林局以及杰克逊湿地保护区合作，将招募6-9年级的学生参加“重新发现军团”。学生将从刘易斯和克拉克探险队开始，了解哥伦比亚河下游定居点的文化、历史和生态影响。学生将使用过去和现在的技术和技术研究环境。除土地利用做法外，活动还包括动植物物种研究、全球定位系统导航和测绘。预计将有多达72名学生参加1-2年级的项目会议，每两周举行一次放学后会议，并辅之以每月的实地考察日和暑期研习班。在项目的最后一年，将由24名学生组成领导小组，他们参与高级生态学研究和场地规划，同时开发用于传播的产品。将制作一张展示学生产品的光盘和一个网站，以及学生海报和地图数据。

Students in grades 6-9 will be recruited to participate in the "Corps of Rediscovery," conducted by the Portland State University in partnership with the Oregon Historical Society, the Center for Columbia River History, the Metro Regional Greenspaces & US Forest Service and the Jackson Bottom Wetland Preserve. Students will gain a cultural, historical and ecological understanding of the impact of the settlement of the lower Columbia River, beginning with the time of the Lewis and Clark expedition. Students will study the environment using past and current techniques and technologies. Activities include studies of plant and animal species, navigation and mapping using GPS, in addition to land use practices. It is anticipated that up to 72 students will participate in years 1-2 of the project meeting bi-weekly after school, supplemented by a monthly field day and a summer institute. During the final year of the project, Leadership Teams will be formed with a subset of 24 students who participate in advanced ecological studies and site planning while developing products for use in dissemination. A CD ROM showcasing student products and a website will be produced, as well as student posters and mapping data.
