CKSS Life skills class plants 360 prairie plugs

Two life skills classes from Chatham-Kent Secondary School planted 360 prairie plugs on November 17th as part of a prairie restoration project on River Line.  Despite the cold weather, 15 students and 5 teachers eagerly joined the efforts to plant the diverse array of species including Big Bluestem, Sneezeweed, and Grey-headed Coneflower. During the two hour event, students also worked in teams to lay mulch around an area of young trees and learned about the benefits that mulch offers.
