Learning from the Glades

The cedar glades can serve as a natural laboratory to teach many branches of science.

  • Stones River Battlefield
  • Long Hunter State Park
  • Cedars of Lebanon State Park
• The Center for Cedar Glades Studies has assembled a group of local teachers who regularly teach science out of the cedar glades and developed lessons which are described below.
