Mark your calendars for Lake View Elementary School's "Going out on a Limb" work day!
Saturday, October 13, 9 a.m to noon and 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.
Lake View Elementary school is at 1802 Tennyson Lane in . It's three blocks north of N. Sherman Ave. & Northport Drive on the corner of Sherman Ave. & Tennyson
Help restore the largest white oak habitat in north Madison, and nurture a rare seedling colony of these beautiful, slow-growing trees. We will be removing invasive plants and shrubs from our 100+ year old woodlands, which feature a wide variety of oaks in addition to white, repurposing materials for use in our environmental education/garden program and laying the floor for our outdoor classroom structure.
Join the fun and excitement as Lake View goes "out on a limb" beyond our built environment using our local natural environment to learn about agriculture, history, culture, forestry, geography and animal habitats.
This project is funded in part by the Wisconsin Environmental Education Board, Williamson Street Grocery Cooperative, True Value Hardware, Jungs Nursery and local contributors, and with the assistance of the Urban Tree Alliance, Inc.
