The Problem
Some think the key to saving the planet from extreme climate change may be in the soil. The goal of this project is to inspire and empower students to better understand, protect and conserve native prairie grasslands. The project seeks to have students design and restore a significant portion of under-utilized land on school grounds back to native tallgrass prairie for carbon sequestration, and create a thriving outdoor classroom within that prairie. This space would foster a sense of stewardship, curiosity, exploration and conservation while leaving a lasting impact on the community and environment.
