Members of the Bellefontaine High School Envirothon Club enjoyed a unique learning experience Wednesday, attending the Teen EcoSummit at the Columbus Zoo.
The summit provided students with resources and leadership skills needed to create changes in their schools and communities.
More than 200 students attended the event, which featured speakers from around the world who discussed conservation, sustainability, and leadership.
BHS students were asked to present their successful conservation projects of the past including energy-saving lighting changes in the high school stadium, creation of a pollinator garden, and distribution of over 800 reusable grocery bags throughout the community.
Caitlyn Neill, David Moody, Connor Skidmore, Katie Pool, Gabe Foreman, and Maggie Howard attended the summit.
Kristy Mount is the Envirothon Club adviser.
