The Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) network consists of 26 widely distributed field projects supported mainly by NSF. LTER successfully launched a ?Schoolyard Children?s Book Series? as one component of a broad-scale, long-term effort to combine scientific research and science education through the LTER Schoolyard (K-12) program. The mission statement for the Schoolyard Series is: ?to engage children and their families in learning about the earth's ecosystems, both locally and internationally, through narratives that reflect the dynamic research being conducted at the National Science Foundation's Long-Term Ecological Research Sites.? Two books have been published in the Schoolyard Series: ?My Water Comes from the Mountains?, by the Niwot Ridge (CO) LTER and ?The Lost Seal? by the McMurdo Dry Valleys (Antarctic) LTER. This proposal is for establishment of a Fund to support the development of books in the series and distribution of books to educators and children at each of the participating LTER sites. The purpose of the Fund is to enhance the value and impact of the Schoolyard Series for the individual LTER sites and to maintain the overall momentum for the Schoolyard Series, towards a goal of publishing one to two books per year. The Fund will be managed by the non-profit, LTER-linked Hubbard Brook Research Foundation, which will also accept support for the book series from other organizations and individuals. The expectation is that new books in the Schoolyard Series will be acquired by libraries that choose to have the complete series. Advances to authors and illustrators will be paid back into the Schoolyard Series Fund for use to support future book projects.

长期生态研究（LTER）网络由26个广泛分布的现场项目组成，主要由NSF支持。 lter成功推出了一个校园儿童的书系列？作为大规模，长期努力的组成部分，以结合科学研究和科学教育，通过lter校园（K-12）计划。校园系列的使命宣言是：与儿童及其家人一起通过反映在国家科学基金会的长期生态研究站点进行的动态研究的叙述，以在本地和国际上学习地球生态系统。校园系列中已经出版了两本书：？我的水来自山上？由McMurdo Dry Valleys（南极）。该建议是为了建立一个基金，以支持本系列中的书籍的发展，并在每个参与的批量网站上向教育工作者和儿童分发书籍。该基金的目的是增强校园系列对单个lter网站的价值和影响，并维持校园系列的总体势头，以每年出版一到两本书的目的。该基金将由非营利性的，lter-c-link-Hubbard Brook Research Foundation管理，该基金会还将接受其他组织和个人对书籍系列的支持。期望的是，校园系列中的新书将被选择拥有完整系列的图书馆收购。将向作者和插画家提供的进步将重新回到校园系列基金中，用于支持未来的书籍项目。
