Gaining More Ground!

Help me give my students the tools they need to continue to remove invasive trees on our farm to make better use of the space available and to get our irrigation completed for farming instruction.

My Project

COVID essentially shut the KHS farm down. Within the time of online-only teaching and now, many of the problematic invasive weeds have taken over. We have made a lot of progress clearing, but we are in need of a chainsaw that will help reclaim some of the areas of the farm to increase student usage in Natural Resources. Students look forward to working on the farm, being outside, and getting fresh air. They are learning more about being self sufficient by their experience. Any help would be appreciated!
