At Trout Lily our relationship with our community is very important. By tending to our community through our stewardship program we hope to instill in our students a sense of love and responsibility for the places we inhabit and interact with. Stewardship for us means taking on a variety of tasks both urban and wild. We tend to our neighborhood garden, collect litter from the blocks around our school and in our nature spaces, we tap maple trees, organize projects that beautify our public spaces, and foster relationships with the people who live all around us; in our wild spaces we work to remove invasive plants like honeysuckle and johnson grass. Once the invasives are removed, native plants are fostered and allowed to flourish - from this work we chose our name "Trout Lily" after the wildflowers that bloomed when given the love and space they need.
