Terra Nova School of Science and Sustainability hasn't added a story.
Terra Nova School of Science and Sustainability is a science options school, where students from six Beaverton high schools learn applied Chemistry and Field Biology.
We work together to grow and cook organic food, practice self-sufficiency and promote sustainability. Our unique 1.5 acre farm, kitchen, and wood shop provide an ideal environment for students to educate themselves and their peers within a project based framework.
The most important thing we can do to grow healthy food is to build
healthy soil. Part of this process is aerating or bringing oxygen
into, the soil. It is possible to aerate the soil with a
motorized rototiller, but there are many disadvantages to this
method. Think; it costs upwards of $1000, it is a job for only one
adult, it uses fossil fuels, and it disturbs the established soil
ecology. Instead, with the money we raise, we would like to purchase
four broadfork tools to add to our garden tool arsenal! The
broadfork is a large hand tool that aerates the soil even deeper
than a rototiller can, without disrupting the soil ecology too much.
It is also a job that students can do, and believe it or not, they
enjoy doing very much! It teaches them patience, thoroughness, and
hard work. Students will also use them in their own garden beds
where they grow crops during the school year and make a meal with
that food at the end of the school year.
We are asking for your help in funding this project. With more
broadforks, we will be able to take care of our precious soil and
engage more students in meaningful hard work to grow more healthy
food for our community!
We will need:
$758 for (2) 14" Broadfork 2 packs
$52 for shipping
We hope you will join us in giving students a better opportunity
to grow food!
