The students in this project received a Biodiversity Award from the St. Lucia government in August, 2005! They worked to reduce trash and erosion in their watershed and plan for more sustainable development. Their watershed also contains banana plantations, so they continue to learn about best practices in agriculture to minimize soil erosion and deterioration of the water quality by agricultural chemicals, monitored the water quality and planted trees to reduce erosion. They also received agricultural awards for their work! After spending many hours cleaning up trash along the stream banks and around the school, the students in initiated a Litter Patrol to help increase awareness throughout the school community about the problems of littering. The local electric utility, LUCELEC, is a proud sponsor of this program!
