Last week the other class from Lake Hill Elementary School was able to take their turn at exploring Konukson Park while learning about endangered Garry Oak and Coastal Douglas Fir ecosystems. By taking part in the rigorous task of removing English ivy from the park, the kids were able to appreciate the importance of protecting these endangered ecosystems from the invasion of invasive plants.
Students could hardly wait to put on their gloves and begin their battle with English ivy. The ivy did not accept defeat easily and students were often forced to work in teams to uproot the plants' strong hold on the forest floor.
Thanks to the students of Lake Hill Elementary for all the hard work!
