The G.Kerkstra Environmental Science Club was started in the fall of 1994 with a single purpose in mind: to make a positive contribution to the health of our Earth. We've approached this mission in many ways. We are constantly learning about nature and how we affect it. We planted a wild garden and a traditional garden in our school courtyard so that all of our students can learn about the cycle of plant life around us. We have also started an aluminum recycling program at our school. During three field trips during the year, we also help The Nature Conservancy with the restoration of Swallow Cliff Woods. We invite you to explore this site to learn more about us and our work. |
