SUBMITTED PHOTO Advanced Placement biology students from Amanda Schnepp’s class at Southport High School took an overnight camping trip to Indiana Dunes, a hot spot for ecological research. Students toured and hiked in several unique ecosystems that resulted from glacier formation and recession of the last ice age, including the beach and dunes of Lake Michigan and a bog. Students also participated in an environmental stewardship campaign where they removed invasive plant species that can be detrimental to the dunes. The campers are (from left) Ola Awosanya, Tara Foor, Roberta Thompson, Rachel Stucky, Schnepp, Maddie Beck, Katie McClure, Emily Patterson, Colin Harris, Sarah McAtee and Jacob Bledsoe.
