Northside Elementary School

The Northside prairie is being restored by Elaina Jones (a rising high school senior and former student at Northside Elementary) and Susan West (District 6 alderman and former UW microbiology professor in Middleton, Wi). This restoration is for Elaina’s Girl Scout Gold Award, the equivalent to a Boy Scout’s Eagle Award, and is centered around sustainably bettering the Middleton community. Elaina, Susan, high school volunteers, and Northside staff members have worked to remove invasive species, spread seeds, plant native Wisconsin seedlings from Plant Dane, and establish annual burns/re-mulching of the incoming prairie path.
