ERES Ecology Club with the Greenhouse!

The Ecology Club of Eagle Rock Elementary proudly announces the arrival of a greenhouse to be used for future growing projects.  At their last meeting of the school year, the members of the club met with the Trail Dawgz from Central Academy Middle School to work on the beatification of the grounds for the summer and the planting of the vegetable beds.  The Trail Dawgz are a sixth grade student leadership team that is part of the Appalachian Trail Conservancy project.  The goal of the team is to lead other students to learn more about the conservation of our environment in Botetourt County.  Plants were donated by Clark BeCraft of the Horticulture Technology Department of Virginia Western Community College with Laurie Harlow being the contact person for the school.  Pictured with the Eagle Rock Ecology Club are the members of the Trail DAWGZ from Central Academy.
