San Jacinto Community College Biology Students Tackle the Trash

On Friday, March 2, the Greens Bayou Corridor Coalition partnered with San Jacinto Community College North Campus Biology Staff and Students as well as the campus Green Team for a project in the South Reach. The project was a site clean-up at Thomas Bell Foster Park, located near Normandy and Interstate 10. The park will eventually become the southern-most trailhead of a planned paddle trail.

With assistance from Bayou Preservation Association the students learned about invasive species, worked on plant removal and also began replanting the wetlands on the park site. A large pile of tires and other trash was also removed and hauled away later by Harris County Flood Control.

Everyone left sweaty and dirty but excited about how much progress was made. A special thanks to Northshore Rotary for providing drinks and snacks.
