Mary Ellen Henderson School Environmental Pathway (M.E.H.S.E.P.)
The Mary Ellen Henderson School Pathway is an environmental club effort to create a path flourished with beautiful native plant species, wildlife, and decor such as bird feeders and gazebos. The purpose of this project is to provide a wildlife refuge for native species such as cardinals, robins, rabbits, owls, toads, brown squirrels, and many more. The other uses of this pathway is a place for track teams to jog in a beautiful area, a place for science and STEM classes to gather plant samples and reflect on ecological habitats and food chains, and a place for the environmental club to study botany and local ecology.
Accomplishments
1. The club applied for grant money through the BB&T Environmental Fund.
2. The club applied for grant money through the Project Learning Tree Fund.
3. The club took pictures of the proposed area, and mapped the part of the school campus where the project could take place out on a map.
4. The club identified several native, and invasive species along the trail.
