As part of another student-led sustainability effort, AP Environmental Science students from Fayetteville High School spent the weekend working on two hands-on projects.

In the FHS courtyard, Stephanie Jordan, FPS Garden Coordinator, and Tracy King, AP Environmental Science Teacher, guided students as they continued the “No Mow” project. They prepared an area that will be planted with native species to support butterfly and bee populations, removing sections of sod to create a new space for the expanding pollinator garden.

Across town, Clay Morton, AP Environmental Science Teacher, led another group of students in removing invasive plant species around McNair. This project is a collaboration with the City of Fayetteville’s Urban Forester, John Scott, who has provided replacement plants, educational signage, and support with brush removal.
