Lyme-Old Lyme HS Students Brave Freezing Temperatures to Build Bench for OL Open Space Commission

Justifiably proud of their work, these Lyme-Old Lyme High School (LOLHS) students, who are all members of the Environmental Club, stand behind the just-constructed bench in its new location at Rook’s Meadow Open Space in Old Lyme. Fizz, the mini-Australian Shepherd, who sits in pride of place, is owned by Open Space Commission member Andrea Fenton, who assisted with the project. All photos by A. Fenton.

OLD LYME—The Old Lyme Open Space Commission has been busy recently!

On Jan. 26, some 10 members of the Lyme-Old Lyme High School (LOLHS) Environmental Club assembled a bench following the design of others already constructed on various Old Lyme Land Trust properties. Karen Taylor, who is a tutor at LOLHS, is the advisor for the Environmental Club.

These LOLHS Environmental Club members worked in freezing conditions to assemble the benches.

The students braved 30 degree weather to align and drill frames, which then supported the carefully-measured and spaced bench seat and back.

And they did it! Prior to placing the new seat in its final location at Rook’s Meadow Open Space, these hard-working students posed for a final photo on ‘their’ bench.

Some students helped place the new bench in the Rook’s Meadow Open Space in Old Lyme, where the existing cedar bench is still stable despite having lost its back!
