Horticulture Class Assists With Mannington Meadows Project

On Tuesday, three students and a teacher from Strang Schools Horticulture Class, along with Ranch Hope's CEO, Dave Bailey, Jr., joined the New Jersey Audubon Society in the 3rd and final phase of the Manninton Mills project; planting approximately 6 acres and 1,300 native shrubs and trees.
"We want to thank you and your students for all your help. We had a very big job to do and you really helped us have a very successful day!" said Beth Ciuzio of the NJ Audubon Society.
The project will restore 12 acres of agricultural ground to forested riparian buffer in an area of the Mannington Mills corporate campus located in Salem County, NJ, approximately 8 miles from Ranch Hope's Alloway Campus.

"By having our students participate in this project, it provided a unique experience for the members of the Horticulture Class," said Dave Bailey, Jr., "additionally, it allowed us to collaborate with the NJ Audubon Society and Mannington Mills." "The Campbell Family and Mannington Mills have been a tremendous supporter of our mission for many years."
