Project Summary: On Wednesday, Sept. 28th, the 4th graders from Stanley British Primary School came out to continue the removal of common mullein, started by the 5th graders. They followed the same format of eating lunch, games, Allison/Ranger's talk, work, and end with compliment circle.
Successes and Challenges: 9 students got stung by bees. We had to move locations due to the bee's nest. The gym teacher from SBPS stayed with all injured kids, and helped them apply ice packs. No kids were allergic. But a lot of the kids showed grit and got back to work, despite this set back!
Lessons Learned: Scout out area for bees first! Early fall is an active time for bees.
Special Notes:
Stewardship Education: Provided by VOC staff and park rangers.
