Team Wetlands on Patrol
WHS students Jacob Bentley, Reese Johnson, Donavon Campbell, and Aaron Jannusch have been spending a great deal of their time during 5th period and outside of school making a new wetlands that looks just like the old one. In order to build the new softball field at the high school, some wetlands had to be filled and some new wetlands had to be created. Part of this process involves moving a large number of plants from one location to the other. Enter - Team Wetlands. Their Mission - move over 2,000 plants.
These students have created a blog to document their adventure. Click here to view their blog.
