POLAND REGIONAL HIGH SCHOOL TEACHER GETS GRANT TO
HELP TRIPP LAKE
|
| Take one
great science teacher, Michelle Garcia, who plans a comprehensive
science curriculum on Fresh Water for her ten junior/seniors, who
researches and writes, jumps through all the paper “hoops” of our
educational age and gets a grant to work with TLIA, Phoebe Hardesty (AVSWCD)
and DEP staffers, to conduct a Service Learning Project on Jordan Shore
Drive. |
| TLIA has long been
concerned with steep bankings along the Drive which have eroded and
aren’t able to prevent runoff from going into the lake. Michelle’s
students will be planning how best to reduce erosion by installing plant
material and then teaching others about their work.
They will first gain permission from landowners living at
130-134 Jordan Shore Drive. The work will start May 5 from 9-10:30 a.m.
with an initial student visit, then May 17th for a second
planning session. May 27th, from 8-2, will be the actual
work day.
We hope you will encourage this
group by stopping to talk with them about their work in our watershed.
Please understand that the grant asks that a sign be placed at the work
site describing details. We sincerely thank Ms. Garcia and her students
for all the work involved in this great project. |
