Environmental Club

The Environmental Club works on community and school projects to raise awareness of environmental issues in the community.

Recent projects have included working to improve recycling efforts at Yorktown, the installation of water bottle fillers throughout the school, and working to remove invasive plants at local parks.  Membership is open to all Yorktown students.

Faculty Sponsor: Eric Brown
