Outdoor Classroom

The City is creating an Outdoor Classroom in and around the island at the North Recycling Center.  Flower beds and two active rain barrels are currently demonstrated on-site.  As funds become available, the area will be transformed into an Outdoor Classroom, complete with more flower beds, a compost bin, vegetable garden, herb garden, rain garden, benches, mulched walking paths, and informational boards that describe the benefits of and purposes for all of the environmental features demonstrated on-site. 

The first Outdoor Classroom flower beds were planted in August 2009 by the Junior Stewards Club (photos below). 

If your class or group is interested in this type of  service project, please contact the Environmental Coordinator at 969-1804 or via email.

Please check back periodically to watch the Outdoor Classroom take shape!
