Visual Summary of Final Products from 2014 ESLPs

The 2014 Ecology Service Learning Project has come to a close, and Mr. Bursch's students have again shown just what can happen when inspired, determined, and creative students set their minds to solving complex real problems.

In just a few months, teams from all of Mr. Bursch's three Biology 1-2 classes have continued the transformation of the Willow Glen High School campus into a living laboratory. Take a look below to see some of the fruits of our inspired labor. To see even more of this year's projects, visit the 2014 ESLP Project List page.
