=**McDowell Early College - Summer Bridge 2009 - Forestry Project **=


To transition into the academic school year, MEC students will be working on a forestry project that incorporates science, math, social studies, and writing. We will study how our Forest Service uses data to manage national forest land. We will also sample forest stands in McDowell County to calculate how much timber there is. We hope this project will be a fun way to use what we have learned in school in a real-world setting.
