In the summer of 2013, Appleview students pulled garlic mustard from the banks of Rogue River by 12 Mile Road.

Students filled twenty trash bags with garlic mustard, a common invasive species in ecosystems throughout Michigan. 

In the fall of 2014, we plan to fill this ditch with native grasses and wildflowers. So that storm water will be cleaned and cooled before entering Nash Creek and will replenish the groundwater table.

We are in need of volunteers to help with this planting project. Please contact Mrs. Blackall if interested at Sue.blackall@staff.spartaschools.org.
