CONWAY — In the weeks leading up to Earth Day, about 30 Kennett High School students in two sections of Mary Ann Abram’s environmental science class determined that they wanted to do an Earth Day project around invasive species.

They spent a few weeks researching different invasive species that have had a negative impact on this area, made presentations of the different options to the class and selected a project. For their Earth Day 2022 project, the students came together and selected a removal project of the spongy moth (Lymantria dispar) (formerly known as gypsy moths).
