For class on 10/24 we will be taking on roles as we consider whether a city should accept a grant to enhance bee habitat in its urban parks. We will be discussing the social, ecological, and economic reasons why this might be a good or not so good decision. The following Module has two parts: the first is a background on general urban ecology and NYC Million Trees, with discussion questions that you should answer and bring to class. The first part also includes a table where you will fill in factors to consider in regards to NYC Million Trees initiative. Fill in Table 1 and bring it to class, as it will help you mentally prepare for the Urban Bees Part 2, that we will complete in class. You should read and complete up to page 8.
Bring your computers so that you can research your role (it will be assigned in class) and your acting abilities 🙂
