From an article by Sharon Roznik in the Fond du Lac Reporter:
Some barren land at Fond du Lac High School is set to bloom.
Teens from Margie Winter's environmental science class have taken on the task of restoring school grounds to a natural and native Wisconsin prairie.
On a recent warm day, the students partnered with grade-schoolers from Lakeshore Elementary School to teach them how to "broadcast" seeds — scattering a mix of prairie plants to the wind.
"We love the outdoors and the beauty that surrounds us. As neighbors, it makes sense for us to partner with the high school," said Lakeshore teacher Julie Gedemer.
The project, which includes a walking path, amphitheater and observation deck at the school's east geothermal pond, is being funded by a $47,600 State Farm Insurance Youth Advisory Board Grant, awarded for environmental responsibility.
