Most of the student population lives in the Noyes Slough riparian zone.
Science classes use the slough to study aquatic life and other water-based science.
Students built and maintain the Noyes Nature Trail in Lion's Park. Students observe migratory waterfowl in the spring and fall. The restoration effort is ongoing and building momentum . Volunteers increase the slough's water flow by opening a beaver dam. Beaver dams are present in many areas of the slough.
