EDGE students visited historic Pharis Farm on Wednesday to work on a variety of projects. AP Environmental Science students are working on a client based project to develop a section of restored native prairie. Science students took soil samples and also tested pond water on premises. Several students helped with organizing the Barb Wire display which will showcase Mr Pharis’ extensive barb wire collection and be used in Clay County schools to education students on its historical impact. Multiple vegetables were harvested from the garden beds - peas, peppers, kale. The pollinator beds were weeded and a few new plants were added. Students had fun spreading 2,000 worms to the trees, garden beds and compost bin. Another great day out at the farm. Students will return in October for more projects. Liberty Public Schools
