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 个分布广泛的实地项目组成，主要由 NSF 资助。 LTER 成功推出了“校园儿童”系列图书？作为通过 LTER Schoolyard (K-12) 计划将科学研究与科学教育结合起来的广泛、长期努力的一部分。校园系列的使命宣言是：“通过反映国家科学基金会长期生态研究站点正在进行的动态研究的叙述，让儿童及其家人了解当地和国际上的地球生态系统。”校园系列已出版两本书：Niwot Ridge (CO) LTER 的《我的水来自山》和《失落的海豹》。由麦克默多干谷（南极洲）LTER 提供。该提案旨在建立一个基金，以支持该系列书籍的开发以及向每个参与 LTER 站点的教育工作者和儿童分发书籍。该基金的目的是提高校园系列对各个 LTER 站点的价值和影响力，并保持校园系列的整体势头，实现每年出版一到两本书的目标。该基金将由与 LTER 相关的非营利性哈伯德布鲁克研究基金会管理，该基金会还将接受其他组织和个人对该系列丛书的支持。预计校园系列的新书将被选择拥有完整系列的图书馆购买。向作者和插画家提供的预付款将返还至校园系列基金，用于支持未来的图书项目。
