GREEN TEAM BLOG: WEEK 5

Tuesday, July 20th, 2021

On Tuesday, we made stamps out of cardboard and foam window seal. We talked about elevator speeches which are a minute long speech to give info fast. Like your name, organization, mission, and what we learned and gained from the experience for our future. We presented them to each other. Later we painted and worked on our blog.

On Wednesday we started off at Peace Place Park and identified plants, planted marigolds, and had pizza. Then we went to the Urban Ecology Center for a nature walk with photographer, Eddee Daniel. We learned how to take nature photos. It was fun.

On Thursday we went to Kilbourn and mowed the lawn, built a garden bed, numbered beds, and pulled weeds. Da’Janique and Elias learned how to use the circular saw to cut wood. Afterwards, we went to the office. We learned about NASA remote sensing programs and watched videos. Then we went on a video call and got to meet NASA scientists and Green Team members from Groundwork ORV in Cincinnati.

We weeded a pathway on Friday at Florence Lambert in the morning. Then we went back to the office to paint and line up benches. After we touched up the benches, we got frosties!
