This morning, we welcomed Liane Nowell, Executive Director of Kenauk Institute, as our second Scholar-in-Residence.

Liane is an expert in the fields of marine ecology, fish husbandry, and sustainable living and conservation. Over the past three years, BCS has been working extensively with Liane and Kenauk Institute on a variety of projects. Liane oversees the Junior Internship Program, which annually aims to offer two of our female students the opportunity to gain first-hand research experience in ecology and other fields of biology.

Today, Ms. Kasna's Form VI IB Environmental Systems and Societies class and Mr. Samson's Form VII Intro to Environmental Science class had the opportunity to learn from Liane with hands-on activities. During block 1, Ms. Kasna's class installed trail cameras to record and track animal movement over time. They will be watching the footage during their next class on Thursday. Mr. Samson's class covered the topic of permanent sample plots being marked in our forest for the recording of trees and fauna that will be part of a 100-year study.

We look forward to hearing from Liane tomorrow during outdoor chapel for Take Me Outside Day!
