Terra Centre, we have collected 200 pounds of plastic which is now saved from the landfill. Keep it coming… we need 800 more pounds to save before we can melt it into our Trex Bench!

And that concludes worm composting at TC for the fall! Everyone made a counter top collection center or an actual vermiculture in-ground bin. They of course had to collect their choice wrigglers to bring home.

Preschool was super excited to finally harvest their pumpkins left to decay in the garden last year when studying pumpkin life cycle and reading pumpkin Jack. @TerraCentreES @fcpsGet2Green

Amazing job TC! Students helped collect over 20 pounds of acorns for the department of forestry. @fcpsGet2Green hand delivered just now… good luck little oaks ❤️🌱

Today Eco Club helped relocate many Deer Mice (even tiny babies) today from our gardens. Though we were happy to see native animals we wanted to ensure their safety out of the garden beds.

Compared to the forestry report it appears that TC’s white oak has produced a much larger amount of acorns this year than other areas. Thank you TC students for bringing acorns to the collection center for the DOF!

Due to the lack of acorns across most of the state, many wildlife species will likely be more mobile throughout the fall in search of alternative food sources.

Eco Club had its 4th session today. We spent the entire session prepping for the inground vermicompost bins. Food grade plastic was a necessity! @fcpsGet2Green

As the fogg cleared, TC set free many monarchs today across multiple classrooms in preschool and 2nd grade. Good luck on your migration to Mexico. We hope your tags get tracked! @fcpsGet2Green
