Palmer ISD -

Environmental science began some clean up on the Palmer Prairie today. Some long lasting bluebonnets and sunflowers are dropping their seeds for next year’s blooms. There is good evidence of biodiversity. Even with weeds and plants in transition, we saw hummingbirds, bees, and a rabbit.
