Precollege Science Collaborative for Urban Minority Youth The American Museum of Natural History offers the Precollege Science Collaborative for Urban Minority Youth (PSC) program to high school juniors. They will develop, conduct, and present a science research project with the guidance of a science mentor and the program's science educators. Eleventh grade minority students willing to commit to a two-year program of independent research are encouraged to apply. PSC Goal: The American Museum of Natural History (AMNH), working in collaboration with schools and other scientific institutions seeks to stimulate interest in scientific research and related careers among urban minority youth. Research Projects: Students will engage in a scientific research project. The topic areas may include, but are not limited to: anthropology, astronomy, entomology, herpetology, ichthyology, invertebrates, mammalogy, ornithology, or vertebrate paleontology. Recent PSC student graduates have investigated topics such as: Geochemistry of Garnets, Hybridization of Whiptail Lizards, Natural Stress Response in Electric Fish, Nutrition and Growth of Artemia salina, and the Social Behavior of the Japanese Monkey. Student Activities: In addition to their research work, students will participate in workshops on new scientific methods, report writing, public speaking seminars, scientific instrument and computer instruction. Students may also be involved in college preparation programs, conferences, outreach activities, field trips and family events.

The Alice Ferguson Foundation coordinates an Annual Potomac River Watershed Cleanup each year. Your students can join the thousands of volunteers that help clean our nation’s river, other tributaries of the Chesapeake Bay, and the surrounding watershed. Plastic bottles, Styrofoam, food wrappers, coffee cups you name it, and it's in our river and streams! How did most of this trash get there? As water washes down our sidewalks and street and into storm drains, it carries with it whatever is in its path. Storm drains then dump the water into nearby tributaries, or into the river itself. For more information contact: Alice Ferguson Foundation potomaccleanup@fergusonfoundation.org www.PotomacCleanup.org It is estimated that we can reduce the amount of organic kitchen and yard waste we send to the landfill by 25%!

51. Strategic Plan, 1999-2004 Strategic activities are those needed to secure the long term viability Across Boundaries and Scales Existing collaborative arrangements for the study http://www.bsc-eoc.org/future.html

STRATEGIC PLAN Index Return to Organization INTRODUCTION For nearly four decades, Bird Studies Canada (BSC), formerly known as the Long Point Bird Observatory (LPBO), has marshalled thousands of volunteers for bird studies. It now draws over 6,000 volunteers annually, actively participating in local, regional, national and international programs of research and education in support of bird conservation. In response to this growth of interest and commitment, BSC is entering a new phase of its history. BSC obtained revised Supplementary Letters Patent in April 1998, and has adopted a new constitution (By-Law Number 1). The future brings new opportunities along with challenges and risks. They require adaptation and innovation. "Strategic" activities are those needed to secure the long term viability and effectiveness of the organization and its programs. The strategic plan (and the planning processes that led to it) identifies key directions and actions that provide focus and a practical "operating envelope" for directing the work that lies ahead. The plan provides a context for the periodic re-setting of priorities, and for developing business plans, a communications program and other measures to achieve them. The main audience for this document is internal to BSC, i.e. Board, committees, and staff. Information in the document will also be useful, in other formats, for members and the general public. The document identifies a mission and a vision, the underlying values and principles, and the strategic intents and objectives for BSC. It builds upon the wealth of experience from LPBO, which continues as an integral part of BSC. The document will be revised and up-dated periodically in the light of experience and achievements.

Land Bird Conservation Plan Colorado Executive Summary Overview of Colorado Physiographic Region 36 Physiographic Region 62 ... Appendices Overview of Colorado Background Colorado is a land of contrasts, a place where rolling grasslands of the Great Plains in the east abruptly give way to a backbone of rugged mountains, which in turn give way to plateaus and canyons in the west. A day's drive can take travelers from semidesert all the way up to alpine tundra. Elevations range from a low of about 975 m (3,200 ft) in Prowers County on the eastern plains, to 4400 m (14,433 ft) on Mt. Elbert, near Leadville. Major rivers include the Yampa, White, Colorado, Gunnison, and Dolores in the west, and the North Platte, South Platte, Cache la Poudre, Arkansas, Arikaree, Republican, Big Sandy, Purgatoire, and Rio Grande in the east. Much of the prairie lands in the east are privately owned, and most of the mountainous western lands are federally owned. Physiographic Areas Partners in Flight physiographic areas found in Colorado include the Central Shortgrass Prairie (PA36), Southern Rocky Mountains (PA62), Colorado Plateau (PA87), and Wyoming Basin (PA86). Based on the percentage of the physiographic area within the state boundary, Colorado has the state lead for bird conservation planning in the Central Shortgrass Prairie and Southern Rocky Mountains physiographic areas, but will share responsibility for the Colorado Plateau Physiographic Area with New Mexico, Arizona, and Utah, and will defer responsibility for the Wyoming Basin Physiographic Area to Wyoming. Physiographic areas are discussed in detail later in the plan. Maps of Colorado's physiographic areas are included in Appendix C.

Scientists from the USGS BRD participate on the South Florida Ecosystem Restoration Working Group with members of the Miccosukee Tribe of Florida Indians and the Seminole Tribe of Florida. Research to be undertaken is identified by the Working Group with input from the Tribal representatives. The Working Group is more collaborative than some because of the active participation by the two Tribes. In consultation with the Working Group, BRD scientists focus on landscape ecology, wetland ecology, fire ecology, ornithology and ichthyology, coral reef ecology, and long-term monitoring. USGS also had developed a set of computer landscape models to support decisionmaking models. These models include population models of the Florida panther, Cape Sable seaside sparrow, Florida snail kite, American alligator, American crocodile, wood stork, great blue heron, white ibis, and great egret. mmurray@usgs.gov
