Greenbelt Hosts GovsPLUS Students for a Day of Fun and Discovery

This July, a curious and enthusiastic group of middle school students from Lawrence visited Greenbelt’s Bailey Reservation in Haverhill for an action-packed day of learning and exploration.

Guided by Greenbelt staff and volunteers, the students took part in a variety of hands-on activities that highlighted biodiversity, water quality, and the often-over - looked life in freshwater habitats. Rick Roth of the Cape Ann Vernal Pools team also captivated the group with his menagerie of live frogs, turtles, snakes, and salaman - ders. The outing concluded with a short hike through Bailey’s woodlands and along Chadwick Pond. GovsPLUS (Powerful Learners Unlocking Success) is a tuition-free academic enrich - ment program hosted by The Governor’s Academy in Byfield for motivated middle school students from Lawrence. Greenbelt first connected with GovsPLUS in 2022 thanks to longtime friend and for - mer Board member Spencer Purinton, a Governor’s Academy Trustee, and has been hosting summer outings ever since.
