As part of a grant sponsored by Texas Parks and Wildlife and implemented by The Webb County Office for Economic Development in collaboration with the LISD Science Department, select students from LISD elementary and middle schools had the privilege of attending the first of four educational trips scheduled for this spring. The first trip was to Garner State Park. Students were selected to be part of this cohort based on criteria set forth by the program managers.
The aim of this grant - called The County Outdoor Outreach Program (CO-OP) - is to promote environmental awareness and broaden the exposure to major nature-oriented destinations in Texas among non-traditional visitors within the Laredo ISD Community. Students enjoyed an educational lecture given by TPWD ranger Jacob Gonzalez; they learned about the various organisms that comprise the ecosystem within the park and surrounding areas, including: birds, insects, trees, and the role that humans play in maintaining the balance of such a fragile ecosystem. Students also learned about the various landforms unique to the Edwards Plateau and were encouraged to be observant and look for certain geological features during their afternoon hike.
Students and adult chaperones embarked on a 1.15 mile hike up the Crystal Cave Trail and across to the Bridges Trail and back down to Horseshoe Canyon. Ranger Jacob provided insights along the way and even guided the group to the entrance of Crystal Cave. Students were allowed to enter the cave and marvel at the reflection of light against the quartz crystals embedded in the rock. The cohort’s next trip is to Mustang Island State Park on February 10, where they will engage in many activities such as water testing, the study and discussion of halophytes, and perhaps even petting a shark.
