By partnering with Rutgers University’s PhD program, we aim to transform this project into a comprehensive research and educational initiative. By undertaking this revitalization, we aim to:
Preserve history:
Restore a vital piece of the Colby Mansion’s legacy.
Create a living laboratory:
Transform the pond into an outdoor classroom for students to explore aquatic ecosystems.
Enhance the campus:
Beautify the school grounds and provide a serene space for students and staff.
This initiative will teach students about the importance of water conservation, biodiversity, and ecological balance. Students will be immersed in a holistic learning experience, exploring the pond’s history, ecology, and restoration through various academic disciplines.
From scientific research and data analysis to historical investigations and creative expression, this project offers unparalleled opportunities for growth and development.
