Site Workday

On March 15, 2022 forty five students came together at Beech Glen for a workday. In the morning students planted Live-stakes and trees, spread mulch to make the playground safer, constructed the beginnings of a walking trail, and did a trash pickup in the Little Ivy River. After lunch students broke into class teams and spent time scouting the site and planning the layout for their park design plans.
