News and Events

When the 5th grade classes visited Piper’s Creek Watershed at Carkeek Park they discovered evidence of the invasive plant English Ivy.  The ivy was covering the ground, growing up the trunks of trees, and crowding out the native plants.  The students noticed that some work had already been done to remove the English Ivy but they knew more needed to be done.

The 5th graders made this website to both inform their community of the negative effects of English Ivy and to inspire others to help control it.  Please take a minute and check out their great work.
