Edward D.- “Eddie Jones came and talked to us about the ecological restoration projects happening in the various jr. highs and elementary schools. I thought it was wonderful that LREC could organize this kind of project with schools. During Mr. Jones’ slide show, we talked about how we can change the surroundings of those schools.
In the afternoon, we visited the McGrath elementary school and other schools near the ecology center. Mrs. Becky, a nice lady, introduced us to the accomplishments in restoring the native plants around the McGrath School. A few years ago, the front yard at the school was a mess.Then she and other volunteers assisted to plan out and grow a variety of beautiful native plants and trees. Like McGrath elementary, many other schools are doing the same to enhance their schools’ environment via restorations of plants. LREC did many many things to help accomplish these great projects, and the ERC is contributing our part to these wonderful community projects.
