BHS Environmental Justice Club (EJC) students with Champlain Elementary students in collaboration with Burlington Parks and Recreation working on the wildlife corridor.

The project is a collaboration between the Burlington School District and the City of Burlington Parks Department designed to re-wild open spaces at CES with native habitat, establish a seed bank and plant nursery, and increase youth involvement in climate action by providing accessible nature-based education to all students.  Yesterday, students mulched a path through the school wildlife corridor.  The wildlife corridor connects two forested areas and features 100+ native trees and shrubs, all planted by students in the Spring of 2020.
