Outdoor Classroom Initiative
Natural Biodiversity is teaming up with the Department of Environmental Protection to offer a school the opportunity to construct an outdoor classroom learning facility on their school grounds. The Outdoor Classroom Initiative will offer students first hand experiential education in current environmental issues that are affecting Pennsylvania and the Earth.
In order to be chosen by Natural Biodiversity to receive assistance in creating the outdoor classroom the school would first have to meet the criteria put forward by Natural Biodiversity.
By participating in the Outdoor Classroom Initiative your school will be promoting environmental awareness, habitat management, healthy living, and outdoor recreation, all while providing a full bodied curriculum. Your school will also become a leader in environmental education and an example for other schools across Pennsylvania to follow.
One school within Bedford, Blair, Cambria, Indiana, Somerset, or Westmoreland County will be chosen to develop the outdoor classroom facility.
If you are an educator within one of the counties listed and would like more information, please contact Natural Biodiversity send email to: nbd_staff@naturalbiodiversity.org with the subject: Outdoor Classroom Initiative.
Natural Biodiversity is a nonprofit program created to control invasive, non-native plants and to restore native plants within the Allegheny Mountains' rivers and streams.
