AP ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE
SBA students participate in Outreach Program
Bowman's Hill Wildflower Preserve began an outreach program, "Pocket Meadow," encouraging neighborhoods, schools and organization to substitute lawns with a native meadow to promote the growth of native species, both plants and creatures.
SBA Meadow has been in the planning stages for almost two years, and this week was the final culmination of planting indigenous species, which will bring indigenous creatures to the meadow eventually.
