Every other year, as part of their ecosystem unit and other related topics, Mr. Vickery and Mr. Hensely do a controlled burn of the prairie by the middle school. The Sergeant Bluff Fired Department assists with the burn. Neil Stockfelt has provided help over the years as well.
According to Boone County Conservation, "Fire encourages health and growth by opening the area up for forbs and flowers to grow before the tall grasses dominate again”. In other words, burning helps sunlight reach new wildflower shoots.
Thank you to our local people that help provide a real-world classroom opportunity for our students to learn!
