Marsh Habitat Clean Up

Waders, bibs and boots were the items for the day. Recently, Ms. Hanna Toft, Natural Science Technology teacher and FFA advisor, gathered the FFA members and headed out to the saltmarsh located behind the school for a habitat clean-up project. For additional assistance, Mr. Josh Andrewson, Agriscience & Horticulture Technology teacher, and Mr. Spencer Hughes, Natural Science Technology aide, attended and helped lead groups of students. 

Toft shared, “The number one piece of trash was plastic water bottles. We ask people to please remember to reduce your plastic use whenever possible by taking advantage of refillable water bottles.” 

The real-world experience encourages students to be more aware of local wildlife and ways to protect them and their habitat.”
