Outstanding Instrumentalist Award – Band Mikey Brooks
FWCD students planted demonstration tables on campus with various types of soil, soil depth and plant palette to determine which combinations might work best on a green roof. The tables were designed by consultants Jon Kinder and Dave Williams of Prairie Design, and were built with a $15,000 grant to improve native habitats.
