enhancing outdoor classrooms
Wonder. Curiosity. Play. Hands-on learning. Vitamin D. Love of place. Growing local food. A land stewardship ethic. These are all part of the mix for supporting healthy kids and healthy land. That’s why we believe in making it easy for teachers to take students outside to learn, play, and steward this very special place.
Once we secure educational access to natural areas, Learning Landscapes partners with students, teachers, and our community to improve and enhance the educational value of these “outdoor classrooms.”

Learning Landscapes installs trails, signs, and outdoor seating areas on school campuses and adjacent lands. These improvements create ideal outdoor learning environments for kids. Teachers report that since installing the trails and seating areas they have more than doubled their outdoor learning activity.
