What did the wildlife look like when settlers first arrived in the U.S. and how has it evolved over time?

Established with the aid of a Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education (SARE) grant, this project was created to offer insight into what sustainability within agriculture actually looks like. Spread across eastern Nebraska, ten different farming operations are featured across the twenty different videos. Each farmer was interviewed by a high school student from a nearby school about what their operation does, how and why they choose to manage it in a certain way, and what makes it sustainable as well as what would make it more sustainable.
In this seven-day lesson, students learn the importance of scoring whitetail antlers, demonstrate the scoring process, and compete in an antler-constructing contest.
