A team effort helped restore a creekside along Frazier Lake Road in Hollister last weekend by planting trees. The group STRAW (Students and Teachers Restoring a Watershed) and the Nature Conservancy were joined by students from San Benito High School's Outdoor and Bioscience clubs along with the Advanced Placement Environmental Science Class.
"The morning was cold and the ground was muddy, but that didn't stop our group of students," said SBHS teacher Chip Gauvreau, who is also the advisor of the Outdoor Club. "They worked hard and were an inspiration. Even though many of our students are really involved with clubs, class offices, sports teams and AP coursework, they got up on a day off and worked hard. The work they did will help out now and for years to come."
The restoration, which also featured some local 4-H students, took place at the Gonzales Ranch.
