Earth Day Stewardship Photo Album
In honor of Earth Day, students from fifth through twelfth grade engaged in a variety of service projects. Please click here to see a small sampling of pictures from the service projects that included:
• Planting native grass, shrub, and wildflower seeds in impacted areas to promote wildlife habitat, enhance beauty, and reduce spread of invasive species at Journeys School and the Conservation Research Center
• Planting willows along impacted areas of Cache Creek to promote habitat and reduce bank erosion
• Mulching trails at the Conservation Research Center to reduce spread of weeds and prevent creation of unnecessary trails while promoting visitor enjoyment
• Removing barbed wire fence from the burn area at the Jackson Campus to prevent wildlife entanglement
• Removing litter from Karns Meadow to maintain the health and scenic beauty of the park
Thank you to all the students, faculty, and community partners that made this an enormously successful afternoon!
