Project School Directory: New Prague Middle School

Project: Tree planting	Major Cooperators: City of New Prague Joe Malinski Farm Don Mushitz Nursery
Description: New Prague's high school and elementary school border a "Living Lab" for this community. This area is already used for environmental and ecological studies by students at all levels. The site is eleven acres, and contains a wetland, paths, a floating dock, an overlook deck, and a picnic shelter. Native trees and wildflowers were previously planted in the area including a "wildlife kitchen" with hundreds of plum, cherry, ash, hackberry, dogwood and highbush cranberry trees. This SNAP grant helped to plant a Big Woods area on the site. The schools received bur oak, walnut, butternut, red oak, and hackberry trees from city and private donations. The coordinators ordered Green Ash, Hard Maple, American Linden, and Hackberry trees from a local nursery. All trees will be planted in the area this summer.
