Highlands elementary school’s environmental ciub met a new partner in their fight against garbage and chemical fertilizers last week: the red wiggler worm.

In celebration of Earth Week -(April 22 to 26), the school has embarked on an ambitious journey — to edu- cate students about waste reduction, wildlife habitat and organic gardening practices.

To help accomplish this, the North Shore Recycling Program was invited to pre- ‘sent its Wormkeevers work-

Earthshakers Club.

“Worm composting is a great way to teach kids about the interaction — between humans and the natural world,” said Victoria Gazcley, community programs coordi- nator ar the NSRP. “There’s something about worms that really captures imaginations.”

In order to support and enhance concepts introduced by the school’s buttertly gar- den in 1997, students at this workshop learned how they

can reduce the amount of

garbage they produce by incorporating — vermiculture (worm composting) into their classrooms.
