Ravines as Art

Ravines are indeed made of clay!  One of our youngest Highland Park students, Lilia, made this wonderful statue of her grandmother from clay found in the ravine behind her house.

It is titled "Copy of You."

How does water quality affect the ravines?   Here are some student projects from last year that talk about these issues:

Water Quality and Minimizing Erosion

Stormwater

Chemicals in Lake Michigan

Getting Ready for FISH!

About 40 volunteers including HPHS students past and present -- Nicholas, Cara, Alyssa, Sarah, Jennifer, Leah, Edgar and Osvaldo--turned out this Saturday to help get the ravines ready for fish migration!

Thanks to HPHS for taking part in our first ever Ravine Symposium!   The professionals who came to present all spoke highly of your interest, ideas and great questions.   Your scenario planning was inspiring!

We're looking forward to seeing everyone in a few weeks for our water quality testing field trip.
