Our focus was the butterfly garden's dry stream, where we took on the invasive Mexican Poppy (A. mexicana). With dedication, students uprooted and buried these plants. Students didn't stop there. They built a checkdam, combating erosion, regulating water flow, and recharging groundwater.By freeing the stream from Mexican Poppy's grasp and fortifying it with a checkdam, students invest in cleaner streams.
