Ecosystems of Shenandoah: The World-wide Web of Life – In-Park
by National Park Service, Shenandoah National Park

Each species has a niche or job within the ecosystem and each is dependent on the other members of its community for survival. Students will explore the natural communities found in Shenandoah National Park and make comparisons between natural and human communities. As human and environmental impacts are evaluated, stewardship behaviors that support a healthy world will be explored and practiced. This field trip is recommended for fourth grade.
