• A group of Global Science students are working on enhancing a map of the trail that runs around the Greyhound Campus.  If you have a special garden or place that you know of please contact me to put it on the map.  The trail runs by several habitats and can be a nice way to get your class outside. If you'd like a basic map please email me.
