Photos: Sharpstein fifth graders put down roots in outdoor education pilot program
As the dozens of fifth grade students bounded from the yellow school bus, fertile soil and native plants awaited their eager young fingers. They were at a south Walla Walla home as part of a Walla Walla County Conservation District outdoor education pilot program with Sharpstein Elementary School to plant some 120 native species. Alison Crowley, a project manager with WWCCD, was waiting with boxes of sapling chockcherry and water birch, as well as shrubs and flowers like snowberry, kinnikinnick, columbine and mock orange.
