Activity 47: Are Vacant Lots Vacant?
Look closely and you will see that a vacant lot is not so vacant! Plants of all kinds thrive in vacant lots, along with a host of animals such as insects, birds, and mammals. In this activity, a nearby vacant lot, overgrown strip, or landscaped area will provide a rich laboratory for students to examine elements of an ecosystem.
