Artist Boat produced a Bolivar Habitat Preserve Field and Curriculum Guide for Educators to the teachers at Crenshaw School of Environmental Studies.
This arts-based environmental education curriculum is designed specifically to inspire teaching and learning on the Bolivar Habitat Preserve, a 22-acre wildlife habitat adjacent to the school.
The curriculum represents years of a collaborative effort among Artist Boat, the UTMB National Institute for Environmental Health and Science, the Sealy Center for Environmental Health and Medicine, Galveston Independent School District, Crenshaw School for Environmental Studies, and Gulf Coast Center Precision Environmental Health. We are deeply grateful for these partnerships!
The completed curriculum includes a robust introduction to the dune swale complex ecosystem and its five representative habitats, including five hand-illustrated habitat posters and 27 lesson plans for students in grades K-8.
