District 100 received a $4,000 Learn and Serve Grant that will make it possible for the students to be involved in a stream buffer installation promoted by the Trees Forever program. Students assisted Great Rivers' staff in planting trees, shrubs, and prairie grasses that will ultimately stabilize the streambank, control erosion and filter out pollutants.
Alley Ringhausen, Executive Director of the land trust stated, “It’s an excellent hands-on opportunity for students to learn that what we do on the land can effect the quality and quantity of the water in the stream.”
