Information about our School's Stewardship Committee
Our School has a large committee made up of 6th-8th grade students and staff (the principal, farm to school coordinator, facilities manager etc.) that help make decisions about stewardship projects around the school. It typically meets monthly and sometimes more frequently. The committee advises learning communities on stewardship project locations and funding sources for projects.
This past Monday (10-12-15) the committee discussed establishing a milkweed "farm", ways to prevent people from trampling the flower beds in the parking lot medians, mulching the base of the big tree between the two soccer fields, an update on a grant requests for christmas trees, rock barriers to protect the rain garden outside at the bus circle, and clearing growth from the site of a compost shed we plan to build.
If any team has an idea for a stewardship project, this committee needs to be consulted. Its members can be a tremendous resource for making projects happen.
Example: Kindergarten team presenting their project to the committee a few weeks back
Garden Space Improved
St. Albans City School is fortunate to have a number of UVM Extension Master Gardeners volunteering their time to help out. In recent weeks a huge amount of work has been done by them on the fenced space adjacent to the community garden. At one time this area's dense clay soil was covered with weeds. Thanks to their help, this area has now been cleared, mulched and prepared for future plantings. Check out their fine work when you next go walking by the garden on the path.
