IND 209: Environmental
Service LearningJoe DellaValle, Mark Turoldo, Kristen, Jen
Clearing the Knotweed Pulled out the
knotweed by the stream
Wanted to make the area by the stream more aesthetically pleasing
After the Knotweed was Cleared
Much more aesthetically pleasing
Building the Benches
Putting the Benches on the Trail
Benches without stakes so people can move them around if they want
Building the Stools and the Tree Stump Chess Board
Putting the Chess Board and Stools by the Stream
Problems that were Overcome and what We Learned
Figuring out how much wood we needed
The design and measurements of the benches and stools
Determining the best way to make the chess board on the tree stump
Empty lots
Splitting up to start our first tasks of the project
Planted strawberries on the ridge surrounding the back of the lot where not much else could grow
Strawberry Plants To stabilize the soil
Can survive the winter
Killing the grass Less grass means
more manageable for the neighborhood
Working with students from City Honors to get the neighborhood involved
Created an aesthetically pleasing area from four empty lots.
Space for the community to use and get involved with.
Some Difficulties of Working in the City
People can always be a problem and a few neighbors gave some dirty looks when we were working.
The woman at Sheehan who got mad for us using the dumpster
Trying to get donated materials.
What did it teach us? We learned that when
doing something good for the community not everyone will be thrilled that you are there.
Also learned that communities we thought were unsafe or scary are really not so bad.
Have faith in humans.
The Future Eco Trail Expand the trail to
connect back to business
Add a theater area Archways at the
entrances to the trail to make them more prominent
Add more colorful artwork or sculpture
