restoring a wetland at Morikami Park Elementary School
On Saturday, May 1 the Marshall Foundation joined students, families and employees of Morikami Park Elementary School to plant nearly 800 native trees, shrubs and wildflowers in a School District owned natural area adjacent to their playground.
Special thanks to the Habitat Restoration Team organized and chaired by Cindy Papadoyianis, PTA Green Chairperson. The team included many friends to the Everglades including Pine Jog Environmental Education Center, the state Division of Forestry, PBC School District, South Florida Water Management District, Florida Native Plant Society, and Palm Beach County Parks and Recreation. Tree-planters got their hands dirty planting some of our favorites, like Cypress and Pond Apple trees.
