The Problem
Many students at CHS used a derogatory name for the trail that connects the parking lot to the main campus. This is the same trail that CHS Roots & Shoots had beautified by installing drip irrigation and planting native flora.

We are going to be installing a sign on the trail, naming it "The Coyote Trail." This will hopefully lead to a long-term behavior change, as students will pick up the new name.
The project went super well. The sign was installed, and it looks great!
We learned that we can create the change we want to see at our school.
If we did this project again, we might build the sign out of metal to make it more durable.
Our favorite part of the project was seeing it installed on campus.
One tip is to reach out to your school or school district to install a sign. They love these types of projects that create a positive behavior change, so they may even pay for it!
