Transcript
0:04 >> [MUSIC] You walk down this little trail and then it kind of opens up into this space you would
0:08 never even realize exists when you’re up sitting in a classroom on campus.
0:12 [MUSIC] It’s just a great way for me to feel
0:19 connected and know that everything I’ve been learning in all my classes
0:24 has real-world implications and I can see that there’s still good to be done.
0:29 There’s important work that we can do and
0:31 there’s a connection to be made with the natural world.
0:34 [MUSIC]
0:45 >> The bio preserve was set up for the purposes of research and education,
0:49 and it’s about 110 acres.
0:52 It’s broken up into two different allotments,
0:54 the Western preserve and the Eastern preserve.
0:58 It’s a place to decompress.
1:00 It’s peaceful, it’s more quiet,
1:02 there’s birds chirping, there’s interesting beautiful things to look at.
1:07 There aren’t really any other universities in Southeast Michigan that
1:10 have a nature preserve on their main campus.
1:13 It’s really an island about diversity.
1:15 It’s really surrounded by a sea of development,
1:18 of urbanization and sub-urbanization.
1:19 Just from the perspective of biodiversity,
1:22 it’s wonderful to have this resource.
1:23 [MUSIC] So this whole area is consisted a fen,
1:32 and it’s a special type of wetland and what distinguishes it from other types
1:35 of wetlands is that the water originates from groundwater.
1:39 So this is up-welling groundwater and because it spends so much time underground,
1:43 it has a really unique chemical constituency that reflects the local geology.
1:48 This creates very specialized plant communities in
1:50 these fens and is one of the reasons that it’s such a unique ecosystem.
1:57 Historically, if you looked at this wetland,
2:00 it was a very open landscape.
2:02 It was dominated by grasses and other herbaceous vegetation.
2:05 But in the absence of fire,
2:07 what we have is woody encroachment from the perimeter that eventually
2:11 chokes out these wetland plants that would’ve been dominant historically.
2:14 One of the main goals is to get rid of these exotic,
2:17 invasive woody plants that have become so dominant.
2:20 [BACKGROUND]
2:35 >> We are gathered here today to witness
2:38 an iteration of a very ancient tradition among indigenous peoples.
2:45 The use of fire as medicine and as a way of caring for the land.
2:55 Prescribed burning has been the process of reintroducing fire
3:00 to the landscape in which fire has been a regular occurrence for thousands of years.
3:04 As a result the native plant species have become really
3:09 well adapted and thrive on the impacts of prescribed fire.
3:13 [NOISE] Wildfire can be damaging for sure but
3:19 the fires that we have here in Michigan are not like
3:23 the wildfires that we see images of out west.
3:26 Fire here is much lower to the ground
3:30 and it’s much more well contained and especially prescribed fire.
3:34 It is really one of the essential tools for
3:38 most Michigan landscapes to really fully enhance the biological diversity.
3:43 [NOISE]
3:54 [MUSIC]
4:04 >> So today we’re going to take soil samples from each of our control and
4:08 burn pots and then we will take them back to the lab
4:10 and analyze them for soil moisture content.
4:13 That’s important because presumably the higher the water levels,
4:17 the more microbial activity and the higher the decomposition.
4:20 [MUSIC] It’s really nice to come out here and explore.
4:27 Not only are we learning and carrying out our experiments but we also
4:31 get to see so much natural biodiversity that it has to offer.
4:35 Fen ecosystem down here also provides a lot
4:39 of species that are not found elsewhere in Southeast Michigan,
4:42 such as mink or flying squirrel.
4:45 It’s our job to protect it and preserve it as much as possible.
4:48 A lot of the work that we’re doing here is we’re looking at the species that we have,
4:57 they are invading the area that’s really an important one.
5:01 We’re not the only location that has this problem,
5:04 but not all locations that have this problem have
5:07 the resources to do all the research and understand the situation.
5:10 So the goal with what we’re doing is to understand this type of situation that exists all
5:14 over the world and be able to apply what we’ve learned to all sorts of new situations.
5:19 [MUSIC]
5:25 >> We are planting a whole bunch of
5:26 native plant species to fends and wetland prairies is to try to
5:31 learn more about management practices for those types of
5:34 ecosystems as well as boost up some of the floral species.
5:38 Then the last step is to stomp it.
5:43 So you want to stop it on all sides around there.
5:48 >> Without those floral species,
5:50 there are no flowers for the pollinators and without the pollinators,
5:53 there are no other species that rely on them to pollinate,
5:57 as well as for food sources in addition to that.
6:00 So it’s just really important that we
6:01 out-compete some of these woody species with more flowers.
6:06 We hope that after planting a bunch of these native species and
6:10 following them for either a summer or a few summers that we will
6:13 Understand more about invasive species and fens and how those are
6:16 really affecting planting and restoration tactics.
6:19 [NOISE]
6:24 >> I hope this is the first step towards a lot of similar activities in the future,
6:28 we have a 110 acre nature preserve,
6:31 almost all of which needs some sort of restoration measure,
6:35 whether it’d be seed planting or prescribed burns or the like.
6:38 I’m hopeful that we’ll do lots of this in the future.
6:40 [MUSIC]
6:45 >> I think if there’s anything that climate change is teaching us today,
6:49 it is that we cannot colonize every square inch of space on
6:53 the planet for human use and still expect life to thrive.
6:59 We humans are not the supreme masters,
7:02 but interdependent collaborators in the bio-diverse community of
7:07 life whose intricate workings we’re just beginning to wrap our heads around.
7:15 The bio preserves can be a school house for us in that regard.
7:20 [MUSIC]

– Learns more on a Saturday than at a local school in a week
We are satisfied with the school, we really like the school activities, the lessons are at a good level and the children are interested in what is important. The son goes to school with pleasure and says that he learns more on Saturday than at the local school in a week :-))

– “Sails” is the second home for our family
“Why do you go to Sails? You can study Russian, mathematics and other subjects at home and with a teacher!” – a friend told me. “It is possible, but do children go to the School only for knowledge? But what about the game of “tag” at breaks, literary evenings, common holidays, concerts, friends. Friends! I can say without exaggeration that “Sails” has become a second home for our family. We are all so far from our native culture and language now, and it is a great happiness when there are those who, with love and diligence, preserve our culture, instilling it in the younger generation. Try somehow to come to this School, and I think neither you nor your children will want to leave its walls anymore.

– For a child, this is an outlet
Communication! My goal has always been to preserve the Russian language. The child went to a Russian kindergarten and at the beginning of the year went to a local school with zero English. Of course, the English language began to “hatch” quickly, and the preservation of Russian became more relevant than ever!
The Russian school was a godsend! At the beginning of training for a child, it was an outlet – to get back to Russian-speaking peers – to talk and talk, and later additional knowledge was added. The child understood the technique of reading, and thanks to this, reading in English became much easier (the ability to merge letters and “read” the word was added to the local system of visual word recognition). Special thanks to Elena – she is always ready to suggest the most suitable program and somewhere, even adjust it specifically for the gathered group of children. And for me, Saturday morning has become my favorite time (many will understand). It would be great to see more theater lessons, football or other sports.
Anya
Vitalik’s mother (6 years old)
– It will forever remain a warm memory from childhood!
I really like the idea of a Russian Saturday school for Russian-speaking children. This is an amazing opportunity for our children to maintain the language for several years. Obviously, there is a lot of English in their practice, but the Russian school allows them to regularly hear and practice Russian. It is also very attractive that in addition to basic subjects, the school also has additional subjects to choose from. Children really like painting with Tanya and art lessons with Anya. An amazing opportunity to learn through creativity. Separately, I would like to note the mass events at the end of the quarters: fairs, the “City of Masters”, the New Year, Shrovetide, etc. Children are so united by the spirit of the holiday, in their memory this will forever remain a warm memory from childhood!
Saha A.
mother of Neity (8 years old) and Danica (5 years old)
The kids want to go back to school!
My daughter came to the Russian school understanding everything, but not speaking Russian. And, despite her embarrassment about this, she immediately fell in love with going to it. I look forward to every Saturday. Teachers create a warm and cozy atmosphere, children want to come back. I would like to take part in the life of the school, in concerts. Because of the entertainment and games before lessons and during breaks, children quickly and easily make friends. And of course, the daughter mastered the alphabet, learned to read. For me, this was the most important thing. But another big plus is that our traditions, songs, games, the first and last bell, the new year, etc. are supported at the school. And the children learn a little about how it was in our times, in our childhood. Many thanks to Lena, in particular, and to the entire teaching staff for warmth and dedication.
