Despite transportation difficulties, Mike Metzmaker of Fred Moore Middle School said that his Life Science and Earth Science classes could use the trail at least once a year. Another deterrent to the support of a trail system from the schools' perspective is that some of the schools already have a natural area that they use. Anoka High School utilizes an oxbow near the Rum River for classes. Instructor Scott Birch teaches his ninth grade Outdoor Adventures class near the oxbow and would not have a use for the Trott Brook Corridor. Ramsey Elementary school has a trail system and nature area behind their school. First grade instructor Patti Hill felt their school already has difficulties using the nature area they have on their grounds, therefore the use of Trott Brook would not be to their advantage. Although these schools have a natural area that they use, they still thought that the Trott Brook Environmental Learning Center is worthwhile. The Anoka-Hennepin schools contacted are listed in Appendix VI and Map 5. 22 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I
