Welcome! Thank you for visiting the
2012 E.S.S.R.E. webpage. This summer, 14 young women from a wide
variety of Baltimore area high schools were employed as interns to take
an "environmental snapshot" of the Roland Park Country School backwoods.
These talented, driven, and spirited girls studied the backwoods and
after a week and a half, devised their own projects to solve any
anomalies. Interns were from a wide range of schools, including Friends
School of Baltimore, Notre Dame Preparatory School, Roland Park Country
School, St. Timothy's School and Western High School. Each phase of this year’s program can be found on
their individual this page, as well as their lessons, research papers,
and findings. |
PHASE ONE: The interns survey their assigned quadrant through a variety of soil ecology tests. If you want to inquire further about how each group collected results, click to read our steps to a biota survey.

PHASE TWO: The interns split into new groups and devise a plan to investigate anomalies found in phase one and draft a research paper based on their findings. To view each group's website, click their name below. In order to view their published research papers, please click their group photo.
