manassas national battlefield park preserves the culturally important sites
of the first and second battles of manasssas
when visitors come to the history they might not realize that they're also
visiting a five thousand acre ecological sanctuary and sticker n_b_c_ area
manassas is quickly becoming not only an area for civil war history but also
somewhere for local families and schools to experience the outdoors
the demand for nature and climate related education programs is apparent
but like most parks manassas works with limited staffing resources
how can manassas fill the desires of its' visitors and surrounding
community without the support traditional environmental education requires?
this is where I come in. Hi, my name is Bridgette Rivers and I'm a second year
masters student in geography at virginia tech
in order to create self-sustaining education programs my supervisor
and i had to get creative
we added did you know facts to the manassas webpage and planned and created
a second junior ranger of program for the park that would engage young visitors
with the resource base duties of manassas rangers
company project at work dot was december it's nature itself into which features
the seventh stop speaking to reporters twenty two children and went right now
doesn t vital information about parkland fun as well as climate change how it
affects the park
and more important how it affects the visit
to limit to act as it's called
that number on science
and put a stop numbers and immediately airlines gains in the evening masses all
at once
recently even collaborated with the blue ridge parkway foundation to include a
subletter amtrak trails program alongside other catering to the
education that visitors can't states without needing park staff
i hope that this to our as well as the other programs implemented to this
internship
many some of the education
needs of the comedian and asked
departure a significant natural historical value and now provides
visitors at the unique ability to experience folks
this internship have been indicted
it help me solidify career goals
and be beneficial programs for manassas and physics
i hope that affected the manassas community in a positive way
and i look forward to future projects that we need back to national park
