Carl Sandburg/DCS is an Herbicide-Free school!!!

What does that mean?  
This means our grounds are kept free of weeds without herbicides, therefore keeping our campus free of potentially dangerous chemicals. 

How does the program work? 
Volunteers weed, spread mulch and plant plants on the grounds.  Families can either adopt a patch of the grounds and maintain it throughout the year or help out on designated work party days.

When do you weed?
The next weeding event will take place on Sun, Jan. 30th at 11am.

Weeding events will be the last Sunday of each month (except Nov and Dec).

What do we bring?
garden gloves
buckets
weeding tools
gas-powered weed trimmers

Can the kids help?
Yes!  Bring the kids to help weed or pick up litter on school grounds

Note:
Play ground is not supervised
Bring water/snacks as needed
No building (restroom) access

I can't attend a weeding event, but I would still like to help - how can I help out?
If you can't attend weeding events and would like to help, please consider
"adopting" a small section to maintain on your own time.
