June was a terrific month, but even more so with the helping hands of the Bernard Harris Summer Camp. The camp consists of a select group of students who excel in the sciences as well as have a passion for serving the community. On June 23rd, these students joined the Confluence Partnership to help pull invasive species and plant native ones in their place. All of this work was completed at the North Riverfront Park-- therefore not only helping create a better filtration system for the river with native plants, but restoring the beauty of the park in hopes to draw more people to the water. Students walked away with a better understanding of habitat restoration, invasive species, storm water connections, and muddy hands. Although it was a hot one, fun was had by all!
