Here is a research paper I will be publishing July 29, 2026 as part of the Environmental Science Masters program at Oregon State University.

The title of my research paper is:

Integrating Habitat Restoration into Experiential Environmental Science Education: A Case Study of Student Engagement, Systems Thinking, and Ecological Outcomes in a Rural Secondary School

I planted 100 strawberry plants in my experiment with regenerative agriculture. Many hurdles. I have 7 different varieties of strawberries, including a NATIVE one, that I planted a few months ago. Also, Blueberries, watermelon, mammoth sunflowers, carrots, tomato, basil, thyme, rosemary, sage, pumpkin, beets, purple potatoes, blackberries, raspberries, jalapeños, snap peas, green beans, Yerba mate, currants, etc.

I bought more than 5 acres in a rural Oregon town, covered in invasive plants and full of pests, now what?
