Riverview Elementary grounds to go organic with Friday work party

Durango Herald file

In the spirit of Earth Day, Riverview Elementary School will hold the “Riverview Greening Project” organic campus work party from 3 to 5 p.m. Friday at the school, 2900 Mesa Ave.

Riverview is making a commitment to minimize chemical applications on school grounds. The work party will start an effort to engage in organic land-management practices for the coming year.

Bee Happy Lands will supply compost-tea fertilizer, and participants will overseed and compost a newly aerated lawn, post pesticide-free signs and complete other ground-improvement projects.

Students, parents, staff and administrators are welcome to attend.
