Honors and KCWildlands

We are now back from spring break and I realized that I never blogged about our KCWildlands work day from  the week prior!  For this work day, several community volunteers, including many of our honors students, worked to clear the fence line at Jerry Smith Park.  This park contains a remnant prairie (one of the few left in Missouri), and it's right in our backyard (just off of 135th and Holmes in south KC, MO)!  It's a very biologically diverse and beautiful area, especially in spring and summer.  Our workday, despite the fact that it was the last weekend of February, was great - sunny but just cool enough to be perfect for manual labor.  The pictures include action shots of our honors students at work, as well as a map from the KCWildlands website in case you'd like to visit this spectacular place.
