Mangrove clean-up draws dozens
Dozens of Ransom Everglades students and several faculty members collected 430 pounds of trash during a mangrove clean-up on December 5. Organized by the school’s Environmental Sustainability Council, the afternoon event spruced up the mangroves lining Walker Field and the La Brisa property.
Sixty students participated, some from the Miami Youth Climate Summit, along with RE faculty members Kristine Stump, Scott Erdmann and Alexandra Gunner. Last year’s Ransom Everglades Parents’ Association President Nicole Murray also pitched in. Environmental Sustainability Council members Caitlin Matthews ’21 and Maddy Bagnall ’21 helped organize, and Loriz Arencibia ’23 recruited many members of the sophomore class.
The group is targeting January 10 for the next clean-up.
