Kemah Garden Club donates $1,000 for COM conservation projects

Reading a Galveston Daily News article on the College of the Mainland Biology Clubs nature conservation projects inspired the Kemah-Bay Area Garden Club to get involved.

The club presented a $1,000 check to Sheena Abernathy, COM biology instructor and Biology Club advisor, for supplies to assist the club.

The clubs conservation projects include growing native plants in the colleges greenhouse for Audubon Texas and the Nature Conservancy.

With the second, big greenhouse up and functioning, were going to work more with Audubon Texas and the Nature Conservancy, said COM Biology Club advisor Sheena Abernathy. Recently students helped plant 15 to 20 cacti and 15 to 20 lantana for Audubon Texas at the Rookery Islands.
