Come help us remove invasive honeysuckle on our Nature Trail. The nature trail is used for school day, afterschool and summer programs to connect kids to nature. The removal of honeysuckle will help restore native wildflowers, help native trees flourish and open up our creek bed for kids to better explore. Meet at the Nature Trail by following the school driveway entrance closest to McDonalds. Follow drive behind school and veer right at the bus lot toward the tree line.

We believe in the benefits of immersing kids in the outdoors from a young age and the lasting impact of positive impressions with nature. To support this, our non-profit creates and manages garden and nature based programs on school grounds for elementary students. Our garden and nature trail are used to enhance classroom study while allowing children an opportunity to experience nature, the satisfaction of growing their own food and contributing harvest to the local food pantry.
