Growing Outdoor Learning and Sustainability at Your School?

Are you trying to grow outdoor learning and sustainability in your school community?
Here's a presentation I gave a couple of weeks ago to the Jamestown Elementary School PTA on Growing Outdoor Learning and Sustainability at the school. 


We discussed our school community, vision, goals, wishlists, budget and funding sources - and several of the many environmental education and sustainability programs and projects for 2014 - 2015.




I am working part-time as "Visiting Horticulturalist" at the school and help to coordinate and facilitate outdoor learning. I appreciated this opportunity to meet with the PTA and discuss vision, goals and funding for the next year.
