The 2015 North Bend Elementary School Green Team with teacher Meredith von Trapp

Students in King County schools who want to take on a project to prevent waste of resources, recycle as much as possible, protect green spaces, and other actions for the environment can form a Green Team. Funding and other assistance are available to complete these projects.

Are students at your school willing to take on projects to help the environment become a cleaner, greener place? If so, register to become a King County Green Team.
