Terra Nova Football Team Cleans House

Terra Nova Boulevard and received another cleaning thanks to Jane Gerughty and the high school football team. 

Players met after Saturday’s practice and cleaned Terra Nova Boulevard across the street from the school and as much of the campus as they could cover. 

Gerughty, a science teacher at the school, hopes to connect her students to the environment and help them be part of the solution to the pollution problem. All together they collected 10 lbs. of recycling and 25 lbs. of trash consisting mostly of plastic and lightweight food wrappers.   

Just over a week ago, all of the science teachers encouraged their students to learn more about San Pedro Creek by volunteering for a cleanup there.  

36 of their students followed through and removed over 350 lbs. of debris from the flood plain of San Pedro Creek between Peralta Road and Highway 1.   

In September, on , students cleaned the campus and San Pedro Creek.

Thank you, Terra Nova students and faculty for taking an active role in the health of our ocean. Your efforts are making a difference to Terra Nova Boulevard, the school's campus, San Pedro Creek and the Pacific Ocean and are sure to save some of the steelhead.
