Growing Green Minds: High School Mangrove Education in St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands
Environmental education is more than academic; it's a vital pathway to conserving our natural world, showing individuals how to be stewards of the environment. This principle comes to life in St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands, through a high school mangrove education project called, Mangroves in the Classroom. Over the past year, 73 students at a local public high school have engaged hands-on with mangroves, nurturing an understanding that translates into tangible action and positive environmental change.
