In the fall of 2002, Dartmouth High School's Science Department, under the guidance of Ms. B. Brennan, documented the vibrant ecology of the Dartmouth Urban Wilderness Park. This engaging project highlighted diverse plant species including Butter and Eggs, Blue Aster, Goldenrod, and more, showcasing their habitats and uses. The initiative emphasizes the importance of sustainability and ecological awareness in urban environments, inspiring students to appreciate and protect local wildlife and plants. Join us on a journey through nature's wonders right outside our school!
