Going green in Nyack

May
15

Nyack High School science students have literally staked out pieces of the school grounds for research and good eats.

Students in Tom Perry’s classes have been analyzing soil, checking a nearby stream and marking out squares that will be filled with vegetables, barring groundhogs and deer, in the fall.

It’s not only the science students who have been involved in the project. Members of the school’s Students Opposing Starvation club also are lending a hand and a hoe to the cause.

The idea is anything grown in the garden—watered by the stream and fertilized from a compost heap—could be used in local soup kitchens and for the SOS kids during their Midnight Run projects.
