PHS students collect plant data at Magee Park

Posted

PRESCOTT – Forty-seven Prescott High School students from Matt Rankin’s Environmental Science classes joined Coulee River Trails volunteer Kim Reich in Magee Park on Tuesday, Sept. 20. They spent the morning collecting data as part of a plant survey.
