Finding Dunes
Before you can write about your project, you will need to find one in your area. Try an Internet search for "dune community" and your state or province (and perhaps county). This should help you find an area where there are dunes.
The Project
The next step is to read the web pages that are returned from your search to learn who manages the area. Once you know that, you can make contact with the managing agency (often a state agency) and ask about volunteer opportunities.
If there are no volunteer opportunities, visit the site yourself (assuming it is on public land, or that you get permission from the owner). Learn as much as you can about the area. Then invite your church or a group of friends on an outing and give them a tour, being sure to point out various features and sharing what you have learned.
The Write-up
Writing about your experience could be as simple as composing an email to your instructor, or you could write a blog post about your experience. Here are some other ideas:
- Create a slide show and show it to your church (perhaps as a children's story)
- Create a scrapbook about the dune as you earn the Scrapbooking honor.
- Create a video about your project and upload it to a video sharing site (get permission from your parents first).
