Service
Organization: SouthWest Middle School
We decided to partner with SouthWest Middle school to clean up, re-beautify, and revive their outdoor garden area. During our service we helped weed their garden boxes, clean up the previous projects that have been overlooked over the seasons, and paint new storage containers to make space more lively. We also decided to add bird feeders to this space to welcome a species into this small community.

Research
What was our topic?
Overgrazing, Land Degradation & Habitat Fragmentation
Why did we choose it?
We choose to research these topics based on how much they impacted and influenced the environmental issues it poses to our ecosystems. These three topics in particular all impact ecosystem’s ability to sustain and thrive in major ways that support the organisms living in that distinct space.

Reflection
This project has given us the opportunity to learn more about the issues that are harming our environment, how we ourselves play a role as society in contributing to it, and what we can do moving forward to stop, prevent & help flourish our environment. With being able to give back to surrounding communities like SouthWest Middle School it has opened our eyes to how important it is to create spaces for younger people to learn how to nurture their environment. With this webpage post we hope to send a message that’s informative and motivating to not only youth but to all individuals to get involved with protecting our environment.
