Schoolyard Habitat Program
The Schoolyard Habitat Program helps teachers and students create wildlife habitat at their own schools. Typical projects include: wetlands, meadows, forests and variations based on specific ecoregions.
Many projects are planned through multiple phases and change over time as children from various classes build upon the existing work of past students.
We work with your school to provide:
- technical assistance and project guidance
- teacher training,
- develop written materials
Our goal is to provide technical and organizational assistance to school, so they can create outdoor classrooms that are effective as educational tools in addition to being a sustainable habitat for many years to come.
