NTI Receives a Grant for Outdoor Lab and Natural Area
Mr. Doug Johnson recently received a $750 grant from Ms. Amy Walker and the Public Education Foundation to be spent on our new outdoor lab and natural area. The outdoor lab and natural area will have two major parts. One part will be left to grow without human intervention. A second part will grow naturally, but we will plant locally adapted wild plants that would be the plants we would find were such an area left to grow without invasive species. Additionally, in this area we will remove any invasive plants (such as Johnson grass) that we find growing. A diversity survey will be conducted each year on each part of the Outdoor Lab, and the results compared, not only to the two parts of the lab but also to parts of the grounds that continue to be mowed. Finally, signage will be erected to identify the area as an Outdoor Lab/Natural Area.
