Land Echoes
Service Description
This Land remembers. Wetlands remember when beaver dams kept them sheltered; plants remember when forests were stewarded with care; waters remember when shad filled their river mouths; and we, the people, are remembering that all life on this Land is interconnected. In this interactive educational experience, students seek to understand the perspective of people from Southern Maryland's history: an English fur trader in 1645, a Piscataway tenant farmer in 1770, and an African American waterman in 1890. Despite being from different cultures and eras, students will learn how our struggles on this Land echo each other. By weaving together Environmental Literacy, Social Studies, and Life and Earth Sciences through hands-on activities, students will strengthen their understanding of the complex relationships that sustain all life and come to know how stories from this Land continue to echo into the future.
