Calendar Contact Us Home Hilltop Happenings From Awareness to Action Nine freshman from Univesity of North Florida are working behind the scenes at Jacksonville's Nature Center. These first year honor students are participating in the Environmental Issues Service Learning Class. The class meets every other week with Service Learning Coordinator, Heather Burke.
Students learn from texts and class discussions.
Then they go into the field and learn about the subject in a hands-on experiences. Most of the class selected Tree Hill as their volunteer site. The students perform an array of duties including projects in the office, trails and garden. This energetic band of youth volunteer for three or more hours each week at Tree Hill and write a 5-8 page reflective paper to earn one credit hour towards their U.N.F. studies. I enjoyed volunteering at Tree Hill.
