Chicago Botanic Garden

The Chicago Horticultural Society will partner with the State Botanical Garden of Georgia, the North Carolina Botanical Garden, Northwestern University, the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research, and the University of Washington to develop an effective model for engaging youth in the issue of climate change. Using gardens, citizen science, and technology, collaborators will develop a curriculum and teaching strategies that will appeal to young people and supply content that will be disseminated to students and teachers from large, urban public school systems.
