SFGS owns a nine acre preserve on the lower Santa Fe river. This site serves as a field laboratory for our Environmental Science Program. Seventh and eighth grade students engage weekly in an ongoing riparian habitat and wetland restoration project. They also monitor the site and collect and analyze data relating to biodiversity, the health of the river and the local ecology. In the spring of each academic year the students present and discuss their data and analyses at a public forum. Data collected by the SFGS students at the Preserve is shared with public agencies and helps to inform public policy related to watershed management.
