What is the Outdoor Classroom?

• It is an environmental learning center for the entire community. 
• Its wetland meadow, prairie and woodland areas are the sites of ongoing study, restoration and enhancement. 
• In 2001, it was certified as a National Wildlife Federation “Schoolyard Habitat” thanks to the hard work of students at nearby Pioneer Elementary.
• It is available to everyone and has a wheelchair accessible trail system that encourages nature viewing.
