Photos from Common Ground Field Trip!

Last Friday, US Grant took a field trip to Common Ground High School, where students learned about the environmental education opportunities. Students hiked to Wintergreen Brook, where they worked with their homeroom classes to clean up sections of the stream. Several items recovered include: a bike, leather bags, mattress sheets, a crowbar, a car bumper, and a TON of plastic! Thanks to the students, Wintergreen Brook is much cleaner -- but only for the time being. Joel, our guide for the day, encouraged all of us to spread awareness of the environmental problems we witnessed that day. Here are some photos from the cleanup and hike:
