120 seventh grade students from Big Hollow Middle School in Ingleside were invited to submit essays in order to compete for the honor of participating in our Project. 30 students were selected to plant over 400 prairie plants out side our Visitors Center. 

     The program started indoors with a 30 minute DVD introduction on prairies, followed by a brief story of Volo Bog’s efforts at prairie restorations. Back outside, students worked in teams of 4 or 5 headed by one of our Prairie Garden Volunteers digging holes and planting various prairie plants. Working with the students were volunteers Bernadette & Clarence Haase, Sharon Loris, Ann Shanks, Nancy Schietzelt, Fred Schultz, and Bob Vetter
