Garlic Mustard Video - Invasive Plants

Check out this good video on this invasive plant - Garlic Mustard.  ACE has a good invasive plant program through which they train volunteers to lead invasive plant removal events in the community.

Americorps and ACE host one of these plant removal events at the woods behind Gunston Middle School on the first Saturday of every month.


Click on"Invasive Plant Program" at the bottom of this page and you can watch the video.

Barcroft Park Stream Clean Up - 9/15/12

Arlingtonians for a Clean Environment (ACE) is organizing a stream clean up at Barcroft Park in Arlington, VA on Saturday, Sep. 15th from 1pm to 3pm.  I have invited my 6th grade students to participate with their families.  This will be a great opportunity for my students to connect with ACE and with their school environment.
HERE ARE SOME PICTURES OF A FEW OF MY 25 STUDENTS WHO PARTICIPATED IN THE STREAM CLEAN UP AT BARCROFT PARK. One of my students found a bycicle and took it home to fix it to then donate it.
