Students learn to be good environmental stewards
Lowell - Some elementary students are proving to be good stewards of the environment.
Thursday a group of fourth graders from Lundy Elementary in Lowell got their hands dirty at Elijah Bristow state park. They put native plants back into an area that had once been cleared for pasture land. The goal is to create a better flood plane for the Willamette river but also learn about the environment.
"I'm digging some holes and putting these little guys in a hole so then they can grow bigger and bigger to make our habitat better," says Jessica Gaffney, a 4-th grader at Lundy Elementary School.
This is all part of an education project called Watershed Rangers sponsored by the Middle Fork Willamette Watershed Council.
