Outdoor Connections Program
Outdoor Connections program builds children’s awareness and excitement about the environment. A connection to the outdoors will help foster environmental stewardship at an early age that can continue to grow as they become agents of change in civil society.
We will explore your school yard or local green space to help students connect to nature on their doorstep. Students will be encouraged to use all their senses to see their local outdoor space sin a new way, and to discover species living there that they may not have previously noticed. We will discuss our role as environmental stewards and how we can protect urban ecosystems.
Outdoor connections Program allow students to step outside the classroom and connect with nature on your doorstep!

explore what is around us in our school yards or local outdoor spaces.
