REVIEWS
"I feel it is very useful and important to educate community youth on the importance of preserving and protecting the cultural and environmental resources that are in their area. Probably it was a group of teenagers that vandalized the Fourmile Petroglyph, perhaps if even one of the people in the group had had a lesson such as this the damage would not have occurred." Fred Manar, fourth grade teacher, Colorado
“Preserving the past and understanding why it’s important to do so is beneficial for the kids! [It] facilitates great discussions based on reading and writing.” Brianna Rambadt, third grade teacher, Colorado
“The lesson pulls in a variety of resources and information to create a wide array of concepts students can learn. Building awareness of cultures and their impacts on landscapes is a plus!” Matt Ryan, high school teacher, Colorado
