The King of Norway is coming in October 2011 to rededicate Enger Tower to the City of Duluth. But the Tower and surrounding Park are in desperate need of repair and restoration.We are planning an all-day event open to the public at Enger Park on April 15th, 2011 including: invasive species identification training, buckthorn and litter removal, plotting of an indigenous plant garden, geocaching, lunch, and a Poetry Slam celebration.
(the group from Unity) will return to Enger Park three more times after April 15th to plant and tend the garden of indigenous plants.In the classroom, we are connecting curricular concepts from Math, English, Science, and Social Studies to address the issue of invasive species at Enger Park. These concepts include: planning and plotting a garden of indigenous plants at Enger; writing poetry about Enger Park; studying biodiversity, ecosystem health, and invasive species identification and impact; and exploring the history and economic contributions of Enger Tower to Duluth.
