Welcome to the web page featuring UWB student research products generated in partnership with…

The 21 Acres Center for Local Food and Sustainable Living

 

As the 21 Acres web site states: “21 Acres is a non-profit organization with a vision to create and operate a vital, open public space for all of us to rediscover the agricultural heritage of our region and learn about cutting-edge, sustainable agricultural design and technologies as well as ways to maximize the beneficial aspects of fresh local produce and farm products.”  UW Bothell students in a number of different courses have been working with 21 Acres over the years to help forward their mission while also honing their own research skills.

 

What follows are examples of student research products submitted to 21 Acres.  Some of them have been lightly edited after submission by Robert Turner, the faculty sponsor.

 

To learn more about generating collaborative partnerships with UW Bothell students, contact Karen Ericson, Director of Community-Based Learning and Scholarship at kericson@uwb.edu or 425-352-3365.  Or visit: http://www.uwb.edu/cbls.
