Catoctin FFA

Category: 2009-2010 L2S/RYD Site

The Catoctin FFA chapter repurposed the school's existing fitness trail to include an environmental education area and expand upon the fitness areas located throughout the trail.  FFA members established a native wildflower meadow and researched plant species to attract butterflies and birds to the trail.  Students developed plant and animal identification signage to be placed along the trail.  In addition, in an effort to address the community's increasing adult obesity rate, students developed checkpoints and educational materials to be included along the trail for noting distance traveled, calories burned and heart rate checkpoints.
