Roadside Heritage : ウィキペディア英語版 | Roadside Heritage Roadside Heritage is a program designed to document and publicize the history, culture, and scientific background of the Eastern Sierra Nevada and the Owens Valley in the USA. It uses schoolchildren to interview scientists, Native Americans, and others and to record the interviews. These result in "audio stories" which can be downloaded from the website for use by travelers and others interested in the area. Roadside Heritage is based in Bishop, California. It is a program of ESICE, the Eastern Sierra Institute for Collaborative education, a nonprofit organization incorporated in 1997. It is designed to connect rural youth with media professionals to create interpretive programs for scenic byway travelers, enriching the visitor's experience with a greater appreciation of the landscape and history along U.S. Route 395 in California. Through after-school programs, middle school students interview a range of experts from knowledgeable citizens to scientific researchers, gathering material with the support of distant universities. Selections of the interviews are used to create traveling companion programs that explain the features of the landscape in the context of its human and natural history. ==History== Roadside Heritage was launched by ESICE in 2004 with support from the Local Transportation Commissions of Inyo and Mono counties. The program and partnership broadened in 2005 with the inclusion of the University of California, Berkeley’s Lawrence Hall of Science and the University of Nevada, Reno’s Academy for the Environment.〔"Roadside Heritage Project explores eastern Sierra Nevada U.S. 395 corridor", ( University of Nevada Reno, University News, Fall 2009, page 27 )〕 This collaboration resulted in a $2.6 million grant from the National Science Foundation〔(Inyo Register, June 2, 2007 )〕 for a three-year initiative to investigate the legacy of scientific exploration and discovery in the region, and to explore adaptation to the environmental extremes.
