Wildlife Gardening at School

The National Wildlife Federation provides educational resources for students and teachers, while Garden for Wildlife supplies native plants and fundraising opportunities. 

Schoolyard Habitats
The Schoolyard Habitats® program from the NWF allows students to create and restore wildlife habitat on their school grounds, which in turn serve as outdoor classrooms.

EcoSchools U.S.
EcoSchools U.S., offered through the NWF, is a certification program for elementary through secondary schools that nurtures environmental learning and climate action. Providing a unique learning experience through effective "green" management of school grounds, facilities, and curriculum.

By getting their hands dirty, students blossom in more ways than one. They deepen their environmental awareness and connection to nature, while STEM skills flourish through hands-on projects. Teamwork, collaboration, and problem-solving blossom alongside them, all while enjoying the physical and mental benefits of outdoor exploration.

School gardens bloom beyond aesthetics. They beautify grounds and attract beneficial wildlife, enriching the ecosystem. By embracing sustainability, they reduce pesticide usage and offer cross-curricular learning opportunities.
