With the help of a mentor who knows all about plants we organized a Cleanup Day at the... Goals:   Our objective of this project was to improve a conservation area in our town. To do that, we decided to remove invasive species and plant native ones. We wanted to improve our community and encourage others to do the same. While planning for this involved we had to go to our town’s Conservation Commission and Trails Committee for approval. A requirement was to have put close to 50 hours toward the Silver Award. Finally our goal was and still is to get others to help the environment in their community. Many towns have invasive species and we hope others will do similar projects to ours. To do this you have to contact your town and get permission. Also, research which plants are native and which are invasive in your community. When pulling invasive species, check to make sure you dispose of them properly. It is important to advertize your project so people will volunteer. Getting the support of businesses and other organizations in your community will also help. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7  » Sorry, nothing tagged here yet!
