Upper School Student Recognized for Environmental Service Initiative
Upper School student bridges two areas of interest in a project which focuses on promoting composting and mulching program.
A project pursued by Upper School student Bella Coveyou ‘26 was featured on the OC Waste and Recycling (OCWR) News blog and in the Capistrano Dispatch recently. A passionate environmental advocate, she serves as the team captain of the equestrian team and is currently taking AP Environmental Science. Her project, which bridges these two areas of interest, focuses on promoting OCWR's composting and mulching program.
Bella’s project highlights the important work OCWR is doing at their greenery in San Juan Capistrano, where they operate three regional facilities that transform curbside green waste and equestrian manure into STA-certified compost and mulch. These environmentally sustainable products improve soil health, conserve water, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and help preserve valuable landfill space. Bella is striving to increase community awareness and access to these environmentally friendly resources.
Bella was recognized for her efforts by San Juan Capistrano Mayor Troy Bourne, Supervisor Katrina Foley, and the California State Senate.
