Zane Middle School students presented two sustainability projects - an upcycled disc golf course and an edible landscaping garden. For the disc golf course, they spoke to the counselor about installing a portable course around campus using upcycled materials but encountered issues with only having one basket. For the edible garden, they have successfully grown a variety of fruits, berries and herbs with minimal maintenance, though could benefit from fencing to protect from wildlife and more informational materials. Both projects provided suggestions for improvements to increase sustainability and usability.

2. Disc Golf

3. Disc Golf
* Spoke with Trevor Hammons (counselor)
* Not currently in use
* Portability issues with skateboard legs
* Goal was to have a course around campus, which isn’t
really possible with a single basket
* All the materials are upcycled

4. Suggestions for Improvement
* Making more than one basket
* Having the tube that holds the top together fit into
the basket when it is closed
* A more secure strap to keep the skateboards in place
to make transportation easier

5. Edible Landscaping

6. Edible Landscaping
Landscaping incorporating all edible plants
So far successful with only two minor plant casualties
Plants including an assortment of berries, fruit trees,
and wild herbs
Created using almost all community donated products
Still retaining healthy growth patterns with minimal
upkeep
Surrounding amenities include a bench and an
informational flier handout box

7. Plant Life

8. Suggestions for Improvement
Maintenance mostly relied upon minimal student and staff
work
Full time grounds keepers
Raccoons having eaten a small portion of infant plants
Fencing or other protection from wild life
Pamphlets and informational fliers on short supply
Maintain a larger inventory of fliers
