An immersive authentic educational project by Westwood Schools in Camilla, GA US
Students, faculty, conservationists, scientists, historians, authors, and others unite to preserve our Flint River Heritage.
Why the Flint River?
With a hand as light as a butterfly
And drank content in body and brain
As he gazed for a moment at the sky.
This was his Georgia - this his share
Of pine and river and sleepy air."
Stephen Vincent-Benet, John Brown's Body.
The Flint River was just named one of the 10 endangered rivers of the USA.
This project has been created for Westwood Schools grades 9-12 students to document, participate, learn, and share about this wonderful resource.
