Intermediate and high school teachers took to the field during a week-long intensive summer institute. They explored portions of the Coastal Heritage Trail to learn natural history and teaching strategies. During the upcoming school year, they will be implementing these strategies with their students. The "Park Stewards" program is a partnership between the Toms River Regional Schools and the New Jersey Audubon Society and is funded by grants for the National Parks Foundation and the National Education Association Foundation.
