DoomsdaysCW<p>More of this, please...!</p><p>‘<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Rewilding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Rewilding</span></a>’ the schoolyard — District, land trust make space for outdoor learning</p><p>by ERIC WELCH, January 31, 2025 1:00 AM</p><p>KOOTENAI — "Six months ago, a small piece of school-owned property beside Kootenai Elementary [in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Idaho" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Idaho</span></a>] was contributing little to the students next door.</p><p>"A combination of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/woods" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>woods</span></a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/wetlands" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wetlands</span></a>, the area was appealing to educators aiming to expand the school’s outdoor education opportunities, but teachers were discouraged from using it because of persistent marshiness that made it impossible to visit without tracking mud throughout the school’s halls and classrooms. </p><p>"In July, nonprofit <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/KaniksuLandTrust" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KaniksuLandTrust</span></a> set out to change that. Since then, the organization has replaced the area’s primitive dirt trails with gravel paths, installed several culverts and a small footbridge to help students traverse the area, and created six unique outdoor classrooms designed to facilitate a variety of lesson types.</p><p>"'Just like our teachers need classrooms, outdoor educators need a classroom, too, and playgrounds are quite uninspiring spaces for outdoor education,' said Katie Cox, KLT executive director. 'The idea is really, ‘How much nature can we bring to the schools?'</p><p>"The 10-acre parcel is home to a surprisingly diverse collection of plants and features, and includes an aspen grove, a white pine forest and an area that was once home to a small orchard that still contains productive apple trees. </p><p>"A natural hill facilitates sledding and a 'boulder hop' circuit is designed to act as a homemade alternative to traditional playground structures. </p><p>"'It’s a fun space for the kids to get their wigglies out,' Cox said. </p><p>"Anita Palmer, Kootenai’s art and outdoor education specialist, is a primary user of the area. Palmer teaches lessons outside when possible and aims to help students become responsible users of the land by teaching them the '<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LeaveNoTrace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LeaveNoTrace</span></a>' principles. </p><p>"'They’re just happier outside. More engaged,' Palmer said. 'They definitely have more energy.'</p><p>"Because Palmer splits time between outdoor education and art, she also makes use of the area and its resources when helping students practice creative expression. </p><p>"This year, students in Palmer’s class have created pinecone bird feeders, traced leaves by placing them under a page and rubbing it with a crayon, and made mandala patterns in the woods using natural materials like stones and pine needles. </p><p>"In addition to outdoor education, Cox hopes instructors of core courses can also utilize the space to enhance their curriculum. </p><p>"'If teachers want to pull the kids out in order to use nature to teach math or use nature for reading time, there's space for them to do that,' Cox said. 'It can be as simple as sectioning off a space and saying, ‘How many willow trees are planted in this space? Count them and measure the longest branch with a tape measure and collect the data.' </p><p>"Elizabeth Sims, a beacon teacher at Kootenai who instructs students who struggle with behavior how to cooperate with peers and adults, uses the space to allow students to stretch their legs in a comforting environment. </p><p>"'The gym can be very overstimulating,' Sims said. 'It’s very calming being out in nature,' she added. 'Even the kids that are more high-behavior just seem more grounded out there.' </p><p>"With the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Kootenai" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Kootenai</span></a> property transformed, Cox and KLT are now turning their attention toward a pair of spaces they hope to similarly improve on the grounds of Farmin Stidwell and Washington elementary schools."</p><p>Read more:<br><a href="https://bonnercountydailybee.com/news/2025/jan/31/rewilding-the-schoolyard/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">bonnercountydailybee.com/news/</span><span class="invisible">2025/jan/31/rewilding-the-schoolyard/</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SolarPunkSunday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SolarPunkSunday</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NatureBasedEducation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NatureBasedEducation</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NatureBasedLearning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NatureBasedLearning</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MoreGreenTime" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MoreGreenTime</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LessScreenTime" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LessScreenTime</span></a></p>

Can it come back from the brink?</p><p>By Sarah Mosquera<br>June 5, 2024</p><p>"Across the North American West, giant, ancient, gnarled whitebark pines grow along mountain ridges where practically no other tree can survive. Although these trees have been known to thrive for hundreds or even a thousand years, they have faced an accelerated decline for nearly a century. In fact, across much of the northwest, dead whitebark pines outnumber live ones. According to a 2018 study conducted by the U.S. Forest Service, the tree’s population has declined by up to 90 percent in certain areas, including on the lands of the Confederated <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Salish" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Salish</span></a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Kootenai" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Kootenai</span></a> Tribes.</p><p>"The whitebark pines play a considerable role in the region: They are a keystone species in high-elevation ecosystems. Over 100 species rely on the tree for food, shelter, and the habitat it provides, including squirrels, grizzly bears, and birds like the well-known Clark’s Nutcracker. The trees also contribute to ecosystem stability by preventing soil erosion and regulating water flow.</p><p>"Maintaining the trees, then, is vital. And on the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FlatheadIndianReservation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FlatheadIndianReservation</span></a> in western Montana, which contains some 110,000 acres of whitebark pine habitat, the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes, known as <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CSKT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CSKT</span></a>, are fighting to protect and restore this iconic and ecologically important species, ensuring its survival for future generations.</p><p>"The epicenter of the decline in northern Montana, according to Diana Tomback, a professor of integrative biology at the University of Colorado, Denver, includes part of the Flathead Indian Reservation. 'That area has the highest blister rust infection rates and mortality of any other part of whitebark pine’s range.'</p><p>"<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WhitePineBlisterRust" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WhitePineBlisterRust</span></a>, an invasive <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fungus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fungus</span></a> brought over from Europe in the early 20th century, is one of the main reasons for the whitebark pine’s steep decline. The rust causes cankers that disrupt the flow of water and nutrients within the tree, killing it. Another threat, infestations of mountain pine beetles, have been on the rise — a trend that is influenced by increasing temperatures. Mountain pine beetles used to be limited to lower elevations, but a warmer climate has allowed them to climb up to the whitebark pine’s habitat.</p><p>[...]</p><p>"The Tribes are working towards cultivating and planting 187,000 whitebark pine trees within the Flathead Indian Reservation. In November 2023, the CSKT received a nearly $3.5 million grant through the America the Beautiful Challenge for their work, which will help support various ecological initiatives, such as whitebark pine restoration and the development of a skilled conservation workforce."</p><p>Read more:<br><a href="https://undark.org/2024/06/05/montana-cskt-restore-whitebark-pine/?utm_source=pocket-newtab-en-us" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">undark.org/2024/06/05/montana-</span><span class="invisible">cskt-restore-whitebark-pine/?utm_source=pocket-newtab-en-us</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NativeAmericanTraditions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NativeAmericanTraditions</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Ecology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ecology</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SaveTheTrees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SaveTheTrees</span></a></p>
