The Eugene W. Huskey Environmental Center Program is planned in such a way as to incorporate the total school curriculum. Instructional activities are designed for easy integration into school subjects; especially science, math, social studies, and language arts. While the major emphasis is placed on teaching students about the flora, fauna, and environment of the Smoky Mountains, the social and cultural heritage of the mountain people in East Tennessee is also studied. The curriculum includes lessons on such topics as Early Pioneer Life, Indian History, and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Each sixth grade class in the Sevier County School System comes to the Environmental Center for a two-day, one-night visit. Students are engaged in the practical application of Stream Ecology, a study of the plants and animals of the Great Smoky Mountain National Park, as well as experiences with Appalachian Culture such as mountain music, arts, and crafts. Mr. Rob Younger is the on-site coordinator.
