The
Great Dismal Swamp Wetlands and Wildlife
Refuge is a heavily forested area of
land and water located in Suffolk and
Chesapeake, Virginia. It also stretches
to North Carolina in the counties of
Gates, Camden, and Pasquotank. The property
has been used to make the public aware
of the essential role that wetlands
play in the coastal plains area. It
has also been used for research and
educational purposes. The goal of this
year's Multimedia Team is to create
an educational poster for the Dismal
Swamp which will attract the attention
of Kindergarden to third graders and
make them aware of the swamp's importance.
The
final product of our research is
to complete a professional poster
for the Dismal Swamp which will attract
the attention and aid in the understanding
of the swamp for Kindergarden through
third graders. Our long-term goal
is to develop a CD (compact disc)
and web site with training and information
regarding the Great Dismal Swamp for
these students.
