The BLM Winnemucca Field Office will actually use the data that these students collect, so the children take their tasks seriously. A total of 1,520 students participated in Project Fire. These included children from the fourth, fifth, sixth and eighth grades, as well as high school students. These boys are mapping out a section of fire-damaged land that has been divided into grid squares. They are led around by rope, then they all sit down and share their observations.
Some students like to draw by themselves, so they can concentrate better.
These three boys make drawing a group effort. Bureau of Land Management Winnemucca Field Office 5100 E. Winnemucca Blvd.
