MARQUETTE, MI-- Students in seven school districts will lead stewardship projects this spring, thanks to grants from the Superior Watershed Partnership.
The $16,000 from the Upper Great Lakes Stewardship Initiative will be used for activities ranging from water quality monitoring to trail projects to wildlife habitat improvements and gardens. The project aims to expand classrooms into the community and let students learn about the environment where they live.
Schools receiving grants include Graveraet Elementary, Gwinn Middle School, L’Anse Middle School, Marquette Senior High School, North Star Academy, Powell Township, Teaching Family Homes/MARESA, and Superior Central.
