Designing, Creating and Teaching in Schoolyards Part 1 and Part 2

March 16 @ 9:00 AM - 3:30 PM

Make a difference for wildlife and experience learning in the landscape of your schoolyard. This workshop series will give you the tools, skills and practice. Schoolyard investigations and habitat projects address multiple environmental and educational concepts that benefit landscape, learning and community. The often under-utilized schoolyard spaces can be transformed from blank stretches of lawn or beaten dirt to ecologically sound landscapes. Imagine these spaces alive with wildlife and native plants. They provide opportunities for authentic learning experiences integrated into the curriculum, scientific inquiry, hands-on minds-on interdisciplinary learning, peer mentorship, and community involvement. Discover how to make the most of YOUR school grounds. We recommend teams of 3 or more attend to work together to define and build a project. Read More
