Field Day at Campbellsville University's Clay Hill Memorial Forest Science rules the day for over 40 students from four counties - Adair, Green, Taylor and Marion - at Campbellsville University's Clay Hill Memorial Forest Click on headline for complete story with seveal photo(s), including group pictures of students from all four counties by Linda Waggener News from Campbellsville University CAMPBELLSVILLE, Ky. - High school and middle school students from four Kentucky counties attended the first field day of the semester at Campbellsville University's Clay Hill Memorial Forest (CHMF), a regional center for environmental education and research, October 21, 2014. Taylor County High School teacher Sue Dillery, advancement placement biology and environmental science, has been coming to CHMF for 12years. She said, "It is a springboard for further research and gives an appreciation for nature, both aesthetic and history." This was the first of four workshops of the 2014-15 academic year and was conducted by Andrea Drayer, a biologist from the University ofKentucky Department of Forestry. She engaged students in learning about amphibians and reptiles.The four one-day workshops, funded by Kentucky Utilities, are designed for middle and/or high school students. "This outreach will bring science to life for the participating students and teachers," said Dr. Gordon Weddle, Director of CHMF and professor in the CU Division of Natural Science. "I can think of no more formative experience for a student than to spend a day with a professional scientist in the field doing science." He shared that one of the high school students in attendance declared it the best day of school he'd ever had. Weddle said, "It is potentially a formative experience for participating students in their effort to choose a career and our hope is that by exposing these kids to actual field based experiences with professionals they will have their horizons broadened and go on to college and science based professions. Amy Berry, Campbellsville University's new environmental educator at CHMF and instructor of environmental science on campus, said, "I am excited to be working alongside Dr. Weddle and being a part of this newest program at Clay Hill, exposing middle and high school students to experts in a science field doing actual hands on work. Working with a few select students who have a strong interest in science and providing a situation that may influence continued study beyond high school and career choice is very rewarding." Berry has a master's in Environmental Education from Merry Lea Environmental Learning Center Goshen College in Indiana and came to CU from Louisville where she worked for various agencies as an educator, including 4-H, the Louisville Nature Center and Jefferson Memorial Forest. The next workshop is on 18 November at CHMF. Zeb Weese will lead on bat biology and conservation. He is a biologist who works for the Kentucky Heritage Conservation Land Fund of the Kentucky Natural Resource Department.
