Ask anyone of his students, and they will attest to his passion for nature and the environment, but Mr. Rice's enthusiasm reaches far beyond the classroom. One of his many outdoor projects has been transforming his backyard, with the help of his two kids, into a thriving ecosystem of local plants and animals.
