The Rio Grande Institute
The Rio Grande Institute of the Public Policy Information Fund, a 501(c)(3) non-profit Texas corporation, seeks to draw upon the research and educational resources of government agencies and universities to bring to high school biology classrooms in Far West Texas a curriculum that includes hands-on examination of the dynamics and impacts of invasive plant species along the Rio Grande, especially tamarisk, or salt cedar. With the assistance of agency scientists and advanced students, classroom teachers and lab instructors will explore the causes and impacts of tamarisk infestation, brainstorm possible solutions, and participate in a pilot eradication and native re-vegetation program. Students also have the opportunity to become EPA-certified in Quality Assurance techniques. This rich scientific experience and interaction with professional scientists, both in the classroom and on field trips, can allow students in this historically underserved region to better understand some practical applications of science.
