Student Farm Tour Guide Handbook

Project: Student Farm Tour Guide Handbook 

Student: Carissa Heine 

Major: CVCM Capstone Project 

Semester: Fall 2017 

Project Supervisor: Leslie Pillen 

SDG: 4 – Quality Education 

As a CVCM minor, Carissa spent a semester developing educational modules that could be used during classroom presentations or tours of the Student Farm. These modules were based on topics like sustainable agriculture and food systems, plant identification, and nutrition. For her Capstone project, she developed a tour guide incorporating these modules. Tours are the most popular way that students and community members engage with the farm, and her guide is now regularly utilized by interns and AmeriCorps members!
