Learning moves outside at Fleetwood
Fleetwood Area School District | Posted on

Fleetwood’s “Tiger” is excited about the nature garden being prepared behind him.
As part of the project, more than 100 trees and shrubs and nearly 800 native wildflowers and other herbaceous plants were planted in addition to a garden and bee homes. Existing environmental curriculum will be enhanced by the ability to use the outdoor space for observation and learning. The project is projected to reduce maintenance costs, energy use and the carbon footprint of the school and benefit a nearby stream by reducing storm water runoff and encouraging groundwater recharge.
