Watch Hill for Educators

Fire Island National Seashore

Transcript

Hi, my name is Andrea and I'm a Teacher-Ranger-Teacher at Fire Island National Seashore.

The Teacher-Ranger-Teacher program is a professional development opportunity for educators to learn about and experience their national parks.

No matter where you go on Fire Island, no matter what grade level you teach, you'll find Fire Island to be an ideal outdoor classroom. Let's take a closer look at the Watch Hill salt marsh.

Explore this unique and valuable ecosystem, a pocket of biodiversity, a buffer against flooding, a filter which purifies our water, and a nursery ground for local marine life.

So bring your students, bring your classroom, bring your school, and make Watch Hill your outdoor classroom.
