Atlantic High School special needs
students, in cooperation with the Atlantic High Horticulture
Department, University of Florida/Volusia County Extensino and Volusia County
Environmental Management recently planted several hundred
coastal dune plants at Lighthouse Point Park in Ponce Inlet. The
project was funded through a grant from the Volusia County Tree
Replacement Trust Account, which provides small grants for the
planting of native trees and plants in Volusia County. The
project was a great success and the students learned basic
horticultural skills as well as the value of our fragile coastal
ecosystem.
