Program Benefits

“Urban environmental education experiences such as The Natural Classroom have been shown to advance academic achievement, build character, promote wellness and good health, cultivate environmental stewardship, and foster community and ecological resilience.

The use of experiential and inquiry-based teaching strategies in The Natural Classroom accommodates students of a variety of ages and developmental abilities, helping them grow their understanding of the role urban parks play in the resiliency of the city, and how students can care for parks in their community. We hope these experiences will inspire students’ transformation into active park advocates.”
