Scienceland brought students together, allowed them to bond and physically make a difference in their local area. Having that intimate interaction with nature and actively trying to clean and help the earth made me realize how important it is to get involved. I always knew it was a good idea, obviously, but it wasn't until Scienceland that I realized how important being an active participant in helping society is.

This land, otherwise unused by the school district, is an unbelievable, hands-on way for kids to expand upon their scientific horizons. A beautifully creative idea such as this could be the reason a number of kids become interested in the sciences, and should definitely not be shot down.

This is definitely worthwhile. I stand by Michael Gurock and all passionate about this cause. Scienceland has a great deal of untapped potential- potential that shouldn't go to waste.

The most beneficial and memorable learning occurs when students are engaging in hands-on activity!

When NHS started this project last year, I was skeptical. When I saw the level of devotion that the student-volutneers put into the project, I soon became convinced that it could be a success. This project is unique because it is something that will take a while to complete, but the progress can be seen with each day of work. The ultimate goal is noble and will benefit the community. Plus, the community service is fun; how often can anyone say that? To deny the students the right to work on "Scienceland" is not just a waste of the time already spent cleaning up the land, but more importantly a denial of future students' ability to learn about nature in a hands-on environment.

How can we pass up an opportunity to have our students learn in a real environment? This is the way science should be taught. Motivation and interest is what causes people to act. We need to teach our children in the real world. The possibilities can go way beyond the sciences!

This is an important project that students and faculty have already put hours of hard work into--it should not be abandoned!

Science Land is an incredible opportunity for Clarkstown to show its commitment to its students and science - we should not pass this opportunity up!

Scienceland is an untapped and tremendously vital area that can and will provide students of all ages with a wide breadth of environment-related topics. Climate change, along with degraded environmental systems in general, is one of the most critical and widespread issues facing our society today. Scienceland is a big step in the right direction of truly educating students of Clarkstown School District on why protecting the environment is so crucial for today and for tomorrow. This is one of the few places in our area that is truly untouched and natural, and it can be even more so if the district allows the cleanup to continue.
