-Project Goals
In the year of 2001-2002, the Crown Point Trail Crew consisted of Cascade High School Seniors. Sarah Hasbrouck and Anna Rogers had been working on this particular project for two school years and newcomers Celicia Byington, Teresa Olano, and Amie Murphy have taken up the responsibilities of the trail this current year. Their goals consist of the following:

• 
  To combine science with recreation and present it to the community
• 
  To install bat boxes and swallow habitats on The Crown Point Trail in order to provide biological mosquito control.
  

-New technology being used
GPS is being used to locate new signs and places for erosion control along with places for Brown Bat and Barn Swallow Habitats. We are using our Macintosh iBooks to design the new Trail Introduction sign and will print our new signs for the trail using the new HP Design Jet 500 which prints 36” X any dimension.

-Team/Resources Community

Warren Sedlecek- Bureau of Reclamation, Rick Brown- Idaho State Parks, Lightfoot Foundation & Community Foundation- Grants $2500, and $ 1125 respectively

-Procedures

We consider overall health of trail as the main goal of the project. This ranges from erosion control to educating the people who use the trail about the biological mosquito control possible in Valley County instead of harmful insecticides. Science is the most important factor that determines what we plan for the trail. An example would be the biological mosquito control instead of using chemicals that not only are sometimes uneffective, but also seep into the high water table and contaminate the ground water. Within the class, we are required to hold science first, community second, and tourism opportunities last. If the Trail is kept healthy, the class’ integrity is retained. Last year, the Cascade Lake area RMP was re-analyzed, Crown Pt. Trail was declared non-motorized, a major factor in influencing the health of the trail.
