Members of the Benjamin Logan Environmental Science Club teamed up Wednesday, Oct. 23, for an extensive clean up project on campus and in the school’s land lab, while also learning about invasive plants, such as bush honeysuckle, that have established themselves around the land lab. The evening was “hands-on,” with the club members cleaning up trash, cutting and treating honeysuckle, building wildlife brush piles and trimming up white oak trees planted at the land lab more than 25 years ago. More than 100 pounds of scrap and trash were removed from the land lab that evening, organizers report. “Connecting with our environment is the name of the game,” said Bruce Smith, one of the advisers of the group. The Benjamin Logan Environmental Science Club is a sponsored program of both Benjamin Logan Schools and the Logan County Land Trust. Find the group on Facebook or visit logancountylandtrust.org.
