Community Outreach Jenks Public Schools Flycatcher Trails Flycatcher Trails is a dream that came to fruition by Freshman Jenks Science teacher and Wildlife extraordinaire Todd Humphrey and Alyne Eiland. Starting out as an unsightly empty lot, Grogg s Green Barn and many other like-minded companies in the community, helped to transform this area into an outside classroom and urban wildlife habitat. In addition, many of the students at Jenks helped to lend a hand with the labor that was needed. It was a true collaborative effort. Through donations, grants, and sweat equity, this beautiful park has become one of the staple attraction on the Jenks campus and a resort for birds, butterflies, and beneficial insects. Go check it out today! It is located just to the North East of the Freshman Center or at the intersection of East F Street and North 3rd Street in Jenks

Tulsa Air & Space Museum Hydroponics Exhibit From Storage Closet Fresh produce meets out of this world environment. Is it possible for astronauts to do long missions and be able to have something other than dehydrated foods? We love out the box thinking and jumped at the chance to create a fun and educational display for the thousands of students that pass-thru the doors of Tulsa Air and Space Museum. We are all aware that certain crops can be grown without soil and indoors but let s connect it to a tangible reality that could be of great benefit to some of the world s most amazing explorers. By constructing a Hydroponics System Grogg s Green Barn will display a working model of plants, air, light and minimal water to grow over 40 edible crops at a time. Minimal space is required and the system will allow instructors of the museum to have a hands-on engaging alternative to paper and computers.
