Students will embark on an initial exploration of the Mt. Everett Nature Trail, engaging with local learning partners to observe its current state and collect initial impressions and ideas, thereby connecting the trail's significance to their own lives and setting the foundation for future improvement actions.

Students will conduct an investigation of the Mt. Everett Nature Trail, collaborating with local organizations to identify and analyze environmental issues, gather data, and begin developing actionable solutions to improve the trail, thus building mastery of content and problem-solving skills.

Students will form teams to collaboratively design and begin constructing eco-friendly trail markers and informational signs with integrated QR codes linking to student-produced digital content, building on their earlier research and setting the stage for implementation in the next phase.

Students will implement their trail improvement plans, collaborate with local organizations to install informational signs, conduct a preliminary biodiversity assessment, and gather data on the impact of their actions, providing real-world insights into sustainability and community enhancement.

Students will present their projects on trail improvements and educational enhancements to local organizations and community members, receive feedback, and reflect on how their work has contributed to ecological awareness and community engagement.
