The Trees of Carl Schurz High School

An internet project created by the Biology and Earth Science classes of Mrs. Grabowski and Mrs. Slowinski.  This project was created with the help and support of the TIE-INS program, an environmental science program funded by a grant from the Illinois Board of Higher Education, and with the help and support of  Dr. Marylin Lisowski and Dr. Bob Williams.  Students at Carl Schurz High School photographed, identified, and wrote descriptive information on the trees found at and in the vicinity of Schurz.
