This pathway supports community engagement and environmental education at Saint Edward State Park in collaboration with Friends of Saint Edward State Park (FoSESP). Interns help manage and redesign the Native Plant Learning Garden (NPLG), developing the garden as a hands-on educational resource for the broader community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interns collaborate with CoSEE staff and FoSESP to design, plant, and maintain the garden while creating informational and educational materials for visitors. The work emphasizes native plant stewardship, community partnership, and place-based learning\u2014extending the impact of conservation efforts both in and beyond the park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
