This winter the Somerset County Park Commission (SCPC) Environmental Education Center will pilot a new school field trip program called Finding Answers in Nature. This program was made possible through an Eco Grant from 3M and the Somerset County Park Foundation, and includes $5,000 in scholarships available to Title 1 schools for transportation costs.
Finding Answers in Nature uses the concept of biomimicry to teach STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) and make Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) connections, while meeting environmental literacy guidelines. Biomimicry is an approach to innovation that seeks sustainable solutions to human challenges by emulating nature’s time-tested patterns and strategies.
