Educational Projects There is a whole host of potential educational projects available along the River Walk for school science and vocational agriculture classes of all levels. The identification and labeling of trees, shrubs, vines, herbaceous plants, and wild flowers alone will provide science projects for Oconee students for generations to come. The study and identification of soil types, rock and other land formations along the river will provide a fertile field of study for many years to come.  The spotting, identification, and photography of bird and animals, which inhabit this area, could provide bird and wildlife experts and other enthusiasts hours and hours of study and enjoyment.  Oconee County has a rich heritage including many Indian settlements along its rivers.   Archeological studies along the river could provide much interesting history of early settlements.
