By partnering with Rutgers University¡¯s PhD program, we aim to transform this project into a comprehensive research and educational initiative. By undertaking this revitalization, we aim to:
Preserve history:
Restore a vital piece of the Colby Mansion¡¯s legacy.
Create a living laboratory:
Transform the pond into an outdoor classroom for students to explore aquatic ecosystems.
Enhance the campus:
Beautify the school grounds and provide a serene space for students and staff.
This initiative will teach students about the importance of water conservation, biodiversity, and ecological balance. Students will be immersed in a holistic learning experience, exploring the pond¡¯s history, ecology, and restoration through various academic disciplines.
From scientific research and data analysis to historical investigations and creative expression, this project offers unparalleled opportunities for growth and development.
