🐛🍄🌼STUDENTS HELP LAND TRUST CREATE TEACHING GARDEN AT BMS:
BPS student members of the Barrington Land Conservation Trust's Student Stewardship Team recently planted 275 native pollinator plants to create a new teaching garden at Barrington Middle School.
The pollinator garden will be a place where students can learn about local habitats and the importance of pollinators. Connor, a senior at Barrington High School, adopted the garden as his senior project and spent many hours digging out invasive species and preparing the garden for planting. A generous donation from Stormwater Innovation Center and Prickly Ed's Cactus Patch Native Plant Emporium provided the plants for this garden.
