At this year’s Maryland Youth Summit, Hard Bargain Farm Environmental Center was officially recognized as a Maryland Green Center. This recognizes that we model best environmental practices within our center as well as support Maryland schools in becoming Green Schools. We helped get a group of students from Gale-Bailey Elementary School and Cesar Chavez Elementary School to this event. Check out this video that was created by an artist who was a special guest at the event! (The man standing in the middle of the picture here is none other than MD Governor Martin O’Malley.

Gale-Bailey Elementary Helps Clean up the Potomac
April 12th, 2010On Saturday, April 10, over two dozen students, parents, and staff from Gale-Bailey Elementary School came to Piscataway Park to help clean up the Potomac River as a part of the Alice Ferguson Foundation’s 22nd Annual Potomac River Watershed Clean-Up. HBF Outreach paid for their bus to get from their school to the shore. Together they filled about 23 bags of trash, making the beach look spotless and restoring a cleaner habitat for the wildlife that live along the shore! They are now well-prepared to go back to their school for a schoolyard clean-up on Earth Day week. Awesome job, guys!

Center City PCS – Petworth Pre-Visit
March 30th, 2010I went and visited Jessie Forbes’ fourth graders at Center City PCS Petworth for a pre-visit. We did Trash Timeline and Watershed Address. The kids really got into looking at the maps of the Chesapeake Bay Watershed and their local watershed. I love it when kids check out maps!
