Field Trip to Phillip Merrill Environmental Center




The Environmental Science students visited the Chesapeake Bay Foundation Headquarters (Phillip Merrill Environmental Center) in Annapolis, MD. They center is known for being environmentally friendly and has won platinum awards for its unique design and for its being a "green" building. The trip was sponsored by the Chesapeake Bay Trust and Target Foundation. Students interviewed employees, toured the building, went on a scavenger hunt, and canoed on Black Walnut Creek. They also did biodiversity studies by seining at the creek.
