STUDENTS LEARN ABOUT THE IMPACTS OF INVASIVE PLANTS

Last week was another busy week with kids of all ages learning about invasive plants. Presentations were given to kids ranging from grade two to grade ten. Margi Ransford and her grade seven class from Cedar Hill Middle School was the first to learn about invasive plants. After a class presentation and an exercise aimed at practicing native and invasive plant identification, the class walked to Mt. Douglas Park where they put their new-found knowledge to practice.














After a tour of the park, the students rolled up their sleeves and got down to work. The kids stripped away the ivy finding native plants and a few interesting creatures in the process.











Thanks to the students from Cedar Hill Middle School for all your hard work!
