Aiden Cherniske ‘23 is spending his summer working on a project through UConn's Natural Resources Conservation Academy to survey bats in the area and raise awareness about their importance to local communities. 

Skiff Mountain is a vibrant classroom for our science students. Under the direction of Science Department Chair, Laurie Doss, students work on a variety of projects in partnership with outside organizations and the greater Kent community.

Three students spent the school year creating Geographic Information System (GIS) Story Maps using the Esri ArcGIS platform

A group of students spent some time researching Raven Exhibits at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology.

Congratulations to Madelyn Malinowski '21 who recently completed a Story Map of the Audrey and Robert Tobin Preserve as part of UConn's Conservation Training Partnerships project.

For the second January in a row, Marvelwood students used drone skills to help monitor ice build-up and flooding on the Housatonic River in Kent. 

Dennis White's Lego classes are all about creative problem solving.  

Marvelwood science students kick off long-term collaboration with Eversource’s Skiff Mountain Wildlife Management Area.

Biology classes traveled to Groton, Connecticut for our annual field trip to explore the Long Island Sound with Project Oceanology.

In a new elective students are learning about drones and how they are used in the fields of conservation, heritage preservation, and emergency management.

Science Department Chair Laurie Doss and Lillian Steinmayer ‘19 collaborated on a project as part of the Conservation Training Partnerships Program for teens and adults.

At Cocobolo Nature Reserve, time is spent exploring, researching, and gaining an understanding of the natural world.

Marvelwood students spent a day with Project Oceanology exploring and studying marine and shore creatures in their natural habitat.

Chris Anton ‘18 recalls his experience in Panama last year, working on an ambitious project to map the entire 1000-acre Cocobolo Nature Reserve 

Kent Center School 5th and 6th graders in Josh Szwed's science classes were treated to a presentation about what it means to have an IBA (Important Bird Area), the Macedonia Forest Block, in their town, and the work that went into achieving this distinction.

Ornithology students, Science Department Chair Laurie Doss, and community volunteers banded large birds at the Livingston Ripley Waterfowl Conservancy in Litchfield.

Students spent three days looking and listening for birds, fishing, and exploring the island's rich array of places to see and things to do.
