Living Classroom has partnered with the Campbell Union School District to continue an environmental education program focusing on three key areas: environmental literacy, connection to healthy food, and life and earth science lessons. Authority funds will contribute to a Next Generation Science Standard-aligned curriculum program providing lessons each year to thousands of students; lessons that stimulate curiosity and are taught in the beautiful and educational school gardens we create and maintain.
The Authority contributed funds to help the Guadalupe River Park Conservancy (GRPC) protect and enhance an open space area in Guadalupe Gardens by defining its borders via split-rail fences, adding Guadalupe Gardens lettering to the fences along Hedding, Coleman, and Asbury streets to create a sense of place, and planting poppies along the fence to create an attractive border.
The Authority helped fund the Children's Discovery Museum's new Bill's Backyard: Bridge to Nature project, which is a 27,500 square foot outdoor nature education center adjacent to the existing facility. This innovative space is inspiring children and their families to spend time outside, exploring the wonders and joys of building, exploring, climbing, rolling, digging, and getting dirty.
