Honeysuckle is a common invasive species on the Carson Middle School property. For years, the school has planted native bushes and trees in the spring with the help of a local community partner. However, due to the invasive species they were told they could not plant more until the plants were all removed. The students decided to make this their project and organized an invasive species removal event. This project will be ongoing but made easier with the purchased equipment and support from the school and community.
Students learned the importance of protecting life on the land and the role they have in each watershed.
