	SEE SCHEDULE O RESEARCH & CONSERVATION - STUDY OF TROPICAL PLANTS (BIOLOGY, PROPAGATION, ADAPTATION TO THE ENVIRONMENT); SURVEYS OF ENDANGERED HABITATS & SPECIES; DEVELOPMENT OF RECOVERY STRATEGIES. ESTABLISHED IN 1938 AS A SCIENTIFIC ORGANIZATION, FAIRCHILD HAS BEEN COMMITTED TO BOTANICAL RESEARCH, CONSERVATION AND PUBLIC EDUCATION THROUGHOUT ITS HISTORY. FAIRCHILD SCIENCE IS A POWERFUL COMBINATION OF TROPICAL FIELD EXPLORATION, HIGH TECH LABORATORY SCIENCE, COMPUTATIONAL ANALYSIS, AND CROSS-DISCIPLINARY COLLABORATION. WE HAVE A DIVERSE TEAM OF STAFF, STUDENTS, AND VOLUNTEERS WORKING ON A WIDE RANGE OF RESEARCH AND CONSERVATION PROJECTS, WITHIN OUR REGION AND THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. OUR TEAM IS CONSTANTLY TEACHING AND LEARNING FROM OUR VISITORS, MEMBERS, STUDENTS, VOLUNTEERS AND THE COMMUNITY OF SCIENTISTS WORLDWIDE. CURRENT RESEARCH AND CONSERVATION PROJECTS INCLUDE STUDIES OF TROPICAL FRUIT CROP DIVERSITY, THE EVOLUTION AND CLASSIFICATION OF PALMS, RESTORATION OF SOUTH FLORIDA AND CARIBBEAN ECOSYSTEMS, THE ECOLOGY OF TROPICAL FORESTS IN A CHANGING CLIMATE, THE EVOLUTION OF PLANTS ON TROPICAL ISLANDS, AND THE INTERACTIONS AMONG BIRDS, INSECTS, AND TROPICAL PLANTS. ALL OF THESE PROJECTS HAVE A HIGH LEVEL OF COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, INCLUDING UNIVERSITY FACULTY, K-12 AND UNIVERSITY STUDENTS, AND VOLUNTEERS. THE GARDEN ITSELF IS AN 83-ACRE LIVING LABORATORY WITH RICH REPRESENTATION OF THE GLOBAL TROPICAL FLORA. OUR LIVING PLANT COLLECTION IS A SOURCE OF MATERIAL FOR GENETIC, CHEMICAL, ANATOMICAL, MORPHOLOGICAL, HORTICULTURAL, AND PHYSIOLOGICAL RESEARCH. AS ONE OF SOUTH FLORIDA'S IMPORTANT REMAINING GREEN SPACES, THE GARDEN IS ALSO A UNIQUE PLACE TO STUDY ECOLOGICAL INTERACTIONS AMONG SOUTH FLORIDA'S BIRDS, REPTILES, INSECTS AND THE NATURAL AND ARTIFICIAL LANDSCAPE.

FAIRCHILD IS THE REGION'S LEADING SOURCE OF ENVIRONMENTAL, HORTICULTURAL AND BOTANICAL EDUCATION. IT IS FAIRCHILD'S MISSION TO GIVE LEARNERS OF ALL AGES THE INSPIRATION, INTERESTS AND OPPORTUNITY TO CONNECT WITH THEIR ENVIRONMENT, APPRECIATE THE BEAUTY AND VALUE OF NATURE, AND PROMOTE ENVIRONMENTAL LITERACY AND STEWARDSHIP. USING THE ENVIRONMENT AS AN INTEGRATING CONCEPT, WE OFFER A DIVERSITY OF AWARD-WINNING PROGRAMS FOR SCHOOL-AGE STUDENTS, CREDIT AND NON-CREDIT COURSES FOR UNIVERSITY UNDERGRADUATES AND GRADUATES, PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT FOR EDUCATORS, AND LIFE-LONG LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES FOR ADULTS. THESE PROGRAMS ARE THE RESULT OF COOPERATIVE EFFORTS, LED BY SEASONED EDUCATORS ON STAFF AND INVOLVING INPUT FROM PROGRAM VOLUNTEERS, TEACHERS, STUDENTS, SCIENCE AND CURRICULUM SPECIALISTS, RESEARCH AND HORTICULTURE STAFF AND DEDICATED COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS. FAIRCHILD'S AWARD WINNING, INTERDISCIPLINARY, ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE COMPETITION, THE FAIRCHILD CHALLENGE, IS DESIGNED TO ENGAGE STUDENTS OF DIVERSE INTERESTS, ABILITIES, TALENTS, AND BACKGROUNDS TO EXPLORE THE NATURAL WORLD. REACHING OVER 125,000 STUDENTS ANNUALLY, THE PROGRAM HAS BEEN RECOGNIZED AS A BENCHMARK FOR EXCEPTIONAL STEM EDUCATION AND FOR EMPOWERING PREK-12TH GRADE STUDENTS TO BECOME THE NEXT GENERATION OF SCIENTISTS, RESEARCHERS, EDUCATED VOTERS, POLICY MAKERS, AND ENVIRONMENTALLY-MINDED CITIZENS. THE FAIRCHILD CHALLENGE HAS BECOME A MODEL BEYOND SOUTH FLORIDA, INFLUENCING PROGRAMS NATIONALLY AND INTERNATIONALLY. IN PARTNERSHIP WITH NASA, WE ARE PROVIDING SOUTH FLORIDA MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS AN OPPORTUNITY TO CONDUCT AUTHENTIC BOTANICAL RESEARCH IN THE CLASSROOM. TOGETHER, WE ARE ADMINISTERING PLANT EXPERIMENTS WITH OVER 130 CLASSROOMS PARTICIPATING IN THE FAIRCHILD CHALLENGE, TO DETERMINE WHICH EDIBLE PLANTS MIGHT BE SUITABLE FOR GROWTH IN MICROGRAVITY ABOARD THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION'S PLANT GROWTH FACILITY. THE PURPOSE OF THE EXPERIMENTS IS TO EXPAND FOOD OPTIONS AND INCREASE PLANT DIVERSITY BY TESTING MULTIPLE EDIBLE PLANTS THAT MEET NASA'S CRITERIA FOR SIZE AND EDIBILITY. USING EQUIPMENT THAT MIMICS THE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS ABOARD THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION, STUDENTS ARE TESTING FACTORS THAT MAY INFLUENCE PLANT GROWTH, FLAVOR, AND NUTRITION. NASA WILL USE STUDENTS' DATA TO DETERMINE WHICH PLANTS THEY SHOULD BEGIN GROWING IN SPACE. THE FAIRCHILD EXPLORER AND DISCOVERY PROGRAMS ENGAGE MORE THAN 7,200 STUDENTS FROM OVER 280 SCHOOLS. THE PROGRAMS IMMERSE YOUNG PEOPLE IN HAND-ON ACTIVITIES AS THEY EXPERIENCE THE SCIENCE AND BEAUTY OF FAIRCHILD.
