Mission Statement:  Our goal is to increase environmental awareness for students and community members of Pike County.  Through environmental awareness we hope to educate and empower students to take action in preservation, conservation, and restoration.  Our current focus is on Aquatic Ecology and human interaction with the Flint River.  We hope to provide mitigation for current environmental issues through critical thinking, creative processing, collaboration, and effective communication.  

Past / Future Events: 

• Students gained water chemical certification through Adopt-a-Stream.
• Apalachicola Field Trip–All AP Environmental Science students had the opportunity to enrich their knowledge regarding marine and freshwater ecology, as well as the occupations that accompany these fields of study.  The trip started off at the Georgia Aquarium, where students explored a variety of career pathways one can take to care for animals at the Georgia Aquarium.  Students then dove deep below our ocean waves and explored how animal care specialists, chemists, engineers, and nutritionists kept the Georgia Aquarium afloat!
• Next, students embarked on their journey to Florida State University Coastal and Marine Laboratory, where they spent the night in their respective dormitories.  Students participated in two auditorium presentations given by Dr. Sandra Brook and Johanna Imhoff.   Then completed a successful population count and species identification by trawl fishing.  Students finished the trip with an edge of the sea marsh walk prior to heading back to Pike County. 
• Recertification through Adopt-a Stream for water chemical monitoring (I have to get recertified and contact Alexis Robinson).
• Apalachicola Field Trip
• Possible local clean-up in the Upper Flint watershed.
