This week in the Green Academy, we’re working on finishing the first step of one of our habitat restoration project. This involves digging trenches to catch runoff from the rain and setting up a pond in the center of these trenches. We also have approximately a 1500 square feet of land set aside and prepared for a wildflower prairie of Texas natives. Seeds were sown just in time for the January rain.

Each step in the process involved many students and many man hours put in to get this simple stage ready. Phase two will start as soon as we can get to it.
