This October signaled the start of a state-wide initiative to bring outdoor classrooms to schools all throughout Florida. Students and teachers in Tampa (pictured above) broke ground on the first step towards a thriving wildflower garden, as well as setting up bird feeders and baths throughout their local schoolyard. With a three-year plan officially underway, this school plans to present a wonderful example for how young explorers everywhere can learn and interact with their environment together.

​

As Florida Geography Awareness week continues, we will be posting various resources for how to get involved in creating your own Outdoor Classroom. From funding to bolstering your local flora & fauna, we'll document step by step how to make this wonderful opportunity happen for your school!
