Through this directed study, delegates will gain knowledge and appreciation for their surroundings in the Monongahela National Forest. It will include a survey of the health of the nearby Greenbrier River, as well as an investigation of the local flora and fauna. Delegates will also have the unique experience of exploring the Cranberry Glades, a complex of ponded, herbaceous, shrubby, and forested wetlands, unusual in that they are home to plants and animals typically found much further north. With their new understanding, delegates will come to appreciate wild, wild West Virginia in a whole new way.
