by Erik Badzinski, Sophomore at Eddyville High School
Eddyville High School is currently working with three other schools to bring our science projects together and collaborate on them through the Internet. Here at Eddyville, we have decided to work on a tree planting project, originally started in 1966. All thinning and planning during the past 30 years were done by Eddyville students. The project was recently digitally videotaped as part of the PEAS pilot project.
We have five different sites on our property that we are using for the experiment. Some sites were thinned during different years, others were not thinned at all. We will bring forward information from these sites like number of trees and diameter with and without bark. The class is planting a site with new trees this year which will provide new data.
We hope that with the information we provide and the information coming from the other schools, a picture of how the region is shaped will develop. If you have any questions, the PEAS project web page is located at http://www.orww.org/PEAS/. As it becomes available, more information will be put onto that page.
