Green Space Planning

As spring is fast approaching our plans for the greenspace are coming along well. We have staked out the space and have purchased a composter. Chris from Whitemud watershed has ordered some start up trees and shrubs for us to start with and some of these include; large aspen, spruce, crabapple, lilacs and dogwoods. Thanks to the Whitemud Watershed for donating all these trees and their time. Thank you to the MES PAC for their donation which went toward purchasing a large composter and several smaller composting pails for the classrooms. Lewis and Sons Ltd, an apiary from Austin, generously donated 20 bird houses to be put up in the school yard and greenspace. We would like to thank the Austin and Area Wildlife for their generous donation of $ 200 towards a bench for our greenspace as well, without the generous support of our community we would not have the necessary supports to be successful with our planning.

If anyone would like to donate their time or equipment to our project please don't hesitate to call the school and let us know what you can contribute.

We Are Idle Free!
