Even on a cold Minnesota day, teacher Eric Wulff sees the importance of learning outside.“It is the world’s largest classroom,” he said.These students at the School of Engineering and Arts near Minneapolis are learning lessons like predator versus prey, measuring trees based on shadows, and taking care of chickens.These lessons translate to science and math, but without desks and four walls.“I think I learn better outside honestly, because as I’m learning, I’m refreshing my brain too,” one of the students said. Students still spend time inside learning hands-on skills that can be used outside the classroom, in nature, another day. One group of students at the school is raising trout that will eventually be released back into the stream.“Nine hours a day on their screens, and only 30 minutes a week outdoors doing unstructured play time so that’s a big change in the last few decades,” Jeff Ledermann with Fish and Wildlife Outreach at the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources said. Ledermann is one of the people in charge of the “No Child Left Inside” grant program, Minnesota’s newest program to help kids get outside more often.Lawmakers approved the program in 2019 as a way for schools and organizations to apply for funding for outdoor activities. Over million worth. The first round of small grants was awarded this winter, and the Department of Natural Resources recently closed the application process for a second round of larger grants to be awarded this spring.“We got the idea from other states that started the No Child Left Inside type of grant program; ours is unique,” Minnesota State Representative Jamie Becker-Finn said.She played a large role in the bill coming to life in Minnesota. “Some of the individual programs that have gotten funds through this program are really life changing things that we’re doing for young people,” she said.“Out of 400 applicants, they chose 60 so there were a lot of people looking for money or wanting to get kids outside,” Vincent Patton, a teacher at South High School near Downtown Minneapolis, said. Patton teaches “All Nations”, a class focused on the culture and history of Native Americans.“I get to tie those cultural activities in with the curriculum so my students can have experiences they might not have ever had,” he said. On days like today, Vince’s class is learning how to cook buffalo meat and preparing fishing rods for an outdoor fishing trip. Vince’s dad is helping out.“He’s taught me everything I know about fishing and being outdoors,” Vince said.South High students have done everything from going on day trips fishing, to longer trips, camping up in Northern Minnesota.Washington and Minnesota are the only states that have this grant program statewide from what we found, but other states like Hawaii are looking to pass something similar. Teachers like Vince are just happy to have the extra change.“I’m focused on trying to get paper and poster boards but I know that there’s pots of money that will give my students something deeper than just another worksheet,” Vince said.“The feedback we’ve had from the public has just been phenomenal. Clearly there is a demand for programs like this,” Jamie Becker-Finn said. 3228

CHICAGO — From May to October, a team of people is working every day, even weekends, to look for dead birds on the ground in downtown Chicago.Annually, about 5,000 birds that are not native to the region are injured or killed after colliding into Chicago’s glassy reflective skyscrapers. The team looking for the birds is documenting what kind are coming though the city.The birds live in rain forests and wild areas and are not experienced with tall buildings, group members say. It’s a foreign environment for them, so they are easily hurt, says group member Annette Prince.The group aims to decrease the number of birds killed in the city and is pushing for more bird-friendly building designs throughout the nation. One suggestion the team has is to turn lights out at night.“We are No. 1 in the urban lighting we put out,” Prince said. Less glass helps with the problem, too.“It’s estimated that there are a billion birds a year killed in windows, with a huge concentrations in cities like Chicago,” she said.This is something the U.S. can fix, Prince said.“There are things you can do to make buildings safe, and to protect these birds that are so valuable to us,” she said. 1192

Everything you do during the day comes with making decisions. With quarantines lifting, you're now faced with a whole new set of decisions on what is safe to do.Experts say that's made more overwhelming because we still don't know everything about COVID-19 and you may be getting mixed messages from leadership.“So, you might have a governor saying one thing. You might have a mayor wanting something different happening in the local community,” said Dr. Lynn Bufka, Senior Director for Practice, Research and Policy at APA. “So, it becomes very difficult for the average person who's not an expert in these matters to figure out how to make decisions.”Bufka says this kind of cognitive overload or "decision fatigue" can make the simplest choices seem more exhausting, like what to wear or what to have for dinner.Bufka suggests two ways to take the pressure off. First, accept that it's not easy right now so it's okay to be imperfect. And second, set up a new routine. Even just rotating the same few outfits can help cut down on the decisions you have to make.“We don't really think about how much thinking and how much mental effort goes into what we do in the day,” said Bufka. “Every time we make a decision, that's a little bit of mental effort.”Bufka says our normal routines before, during and after quarantine will all look different. So, you may not be able to just go back to what you did before the outbreak to cut stress. 1448

Dinosaurs are no longer roaming the earth, but their tracks live on. In the foothills on the Front Range of Colorado, a story can be told from pieces of the past left behind.Dinosaur Ridge has been ranked by a panel of esteemed paleontologists as the no. 1 track site in all the U.S. One of those world-renowned paleontologists is Martin Lockley, who has spent his life studying dinosaur tracks.“You're looking at a snapshot of an ancient environment," Lockley says.In an area of just a few hundred square feet, 330 dinosaur tracks have been discovered. However, the land was very different 100 million years ago. Lockley says the giant prehistoric animals weren't a mile high in the Rocky Mountains.They were on the beach at sea level in an environment very similar to present day Gulf of Mexico.“We like to joke and call this beach-front property a 100 million years ago," Lockley says.The soft, wet, sandy land made conditions ideal for preserving tracks."If they're walking on wet sediment, like a beach or a mud flat or the shores of a lake, and it dries out, it becomes hard like concrete," Lockley explains. "And the next time there's a flood washing in more sediment, it will bury those tracks without them being eroded away."Experts believe three different dinosaurs made their mark on this patch of land. Lockley says it's possible they were migrating along what used to be a coast. It's clear the western U.S. was a popular place to be, because there are more than 120 dinosaur track sites from Kansas to Utah. Martin suggests part of the reason is less vegetation in these states means more fossilized rock is exposed.But if there are so many track sites, what makes Dinosaur Ridge the top of all track sites? Executive Director Jeff Lamontagne, with Friends of Dinosaur Ridge, says there was a list of criteria the panel considered."How many tracks there are, the variety of dinosaurs seen in the tracks, the importance of the tracks, the clarity of the tracks, the accessibility and number of visitors," Lamontagne explains.Accessibility is the main reason Dinosaur Ridge has become so highly regarded."It's right outside a major metropolitan area, and there's a major road just a quarter mile from here," he says. "It's easy to see this compared to most other dinosaur track sites in the United States and in the world."People can get so close to the tracks; in some places you can even touch them. Although the tracks have been well-preserved for millions of years, their current exposure to humans and the elements could make them erode over time.Thankfully, with current technology, scientists can scan the surface and re-create it as 3-D permanent record. They also plan to build a cover to protect the land.However, Friends of Dinosaur Ridge believe the hands-on part of the site is important for kids to continue learning about the planet's past. A past that can teach us about topics like climate change, evolution and extinction."We used to think that the dinosaurs all went extinct, but then we realized that some of them survived and evolved into birds," Lockley says.For modern-day humans, Dinosaur Ridge will continue to be an intriguing learning opportunity, reminding people we aren't the only ones to experience life on Earth."It gives you a sense of wonder to imagine these enormous beasts living, playing, dying, a hundred million years ago," Lamontagne says.********************************************If you'd like to reach out to the journalist for this story, email elizabeth.ruiz@scripps.com 3540
